I had the same problem, my 14 1/2 yr old girl goes in the same one or two spots right by the door, the odor was horrendous! Asked my cleaning person if she had any suggestions - pour regular white vinegar on the spots. Worked like a charm and super cheap. When the odor starts to build up, I pour on the vinegar, it fizzes then the odor is gone. I use it now for cleaning up after ducklings and any thing else smelly. A good old fashioned and all around safe cleaner.

Last night a friend asked me if I had any tips on how to lessen dog urine smell. She has a very small yard & 2 Danes who insist upon pee'ing in the same area. The grass is dead & gone. The soil has changed color. It smells dreadful & rain water makes it smell worse. I have a pretty large yard... so I've never had such a problem. I suggested buying a couple bags of soil & replacing what is there with new... then covering it with gravel that can be hosed off. Is there any sort of something she can spray on her existing ground to lessen the smell? Thanks!
