Good luck. I gave up and put a 4 ft. Tall fence around my property. Next warm season the plants went in.
You can train then to use a small gravel area you can incorporate into a nice rock garden area in your yard. Watch training videos, it takes,about 3 weeks of intense training, but it works.
Hello. Seasonal weather changes and rainy seasons can be very destructive to healthy turf with added canine involvement degrading the situation. This can be an ongoing situation that needs upkeep and renovation.
One problem we solved was dog urine devastating the green grassy turf. When the human leash training and otc urine ph supplement and other recommendations failed-We resorted to a remote training collar to train our dogs over the last 17+ years. This collar is exactly the same principle as our existing invisible fence, but you can resort to a tone only button initiation to keep the dog away from an area you’re trying to protect. There are two different zap modes of nick and shock that you initiate and regulate by a intensity dial. Its the same type of collars hunting dogs use.
I do realize these Remote training collars are not for all people but if you using invisible type fence already- it’s likely a great option. My dogs were trained to pee and in mulched area and our grass has been great the last 17years. After training they don't need to wear the collar.

Good luck in your exploration of a solution that works for you. Maybe there's new ideas.
Train the dogs! I have 6+ in my yard daily and nothing is disturbed. Chances are they are not being exercised enough or regularly. Get into a routine, it really does help. Consider faux grass options or a tumbled gravel in the yard.
