Dog owners, with yards, Any tips?



I spent a few grand on getting new lawn and sprinkler system installed in the back yard, and after a few weeks I was suddenly reminded of what happened the last time I had a lawn rolled out and owned a dog.

As you can see, Buddy has a trail that he uses. If we play fetch, and I throw his toy into the opposite corner of the yard, he will always end up on this trail when he is running back to me. I suspect that when I am out of town he spends hours patrolling the yard, and walking the same path.

I know my last dog did the same thing (almost exactly the same spot too). so I know this must be a fairly common problem. How did you deal with trying to have a nice lawn and a dog at the same time?

Is there any "turf builder" you have tried that was able to stand up to the constant walking or am I going to have to learn to deal with it?
