    Could you supply a photo where we can see all of the lawn and not just the problem area. It's hard to tell anything from that pic

  • could have been a bit of fuaarium patch over the winter.
    i did 2 lawns with turf from the same batch in the same day a few years ago, one had the problem, the other didn't - the one with the problem had poorer air flow, they both i felt at the time probably came in with the spores ready to go, but on one the conditions were not right.

    by the way, some dogs also squat like bitches - at least one of mine used to

  • Indeed. A friend of mine has a male Pointer-sized dog and his lawn looks as bad as that.

  • Same thing happened to my own lawn! Dog rocks in their water bowl works a treat but had to dig out effected areas and reseed
  • I will get some more photos on here later.
    For information the dogs are Hungarian Vizsla and Jack Russell.
    I have suggested he cordons off an area to see if it improves.
    It's a tiny lawn so not much room for 2 dogs.

  • The dog I mentioned is a Viz, I'd be looking to them for the damage. We have two Viz bitches and the lawn is bad, but our friend's boy makes masses more damage.
