sprinkle pepper flakes or just plain pepper keeps out cats too.
Sprinkle red cayenne pepper, or red pepper flakes. But the cheap kind from the dollar store. Sprinkle on the soil or mulch, not on the plants. It won't harm the soil; but the dogs and cats don't like the pungent smell. For cats, cut up citrus rinds -- they hate the smell.
You could try spreading out some shredded Irish Spring bar soap. You can shred the bars on a box grater or even in a food processor. Animals hate the smell and taste.
Train them by taking them out on a leash to show them where to go, if they don't get it, put in a fenced in dog run at the back of your property or a side yard you don't use.
