If you're worried about the soap, leave it out. It just helps it stick to the weeds better.

I use vinegar and water.
You can use a steam cleaner and burn them. Not expensive and you can clean the rest of of you house with it. Hand held, add water and steam away. Cleans bathrooms kitchens, sanitizes and can get hot enough to kill weeds with hot water.
Vinegar
A power washer works, and so does hot water.
White vinegar, no water, in a spray bottle, but it will kill everything it touches so be strategic.
Not sure if vinegar will bother him but it will kill the weeds.
Really the best way is to pull them making sure you get the roots, otherwise you’re little cutie might ingest anything else. Vinegar and salt could make your puppy sick.
