Dog urine has high pH, which makes it a base. It also contains nitrogen, which is a plant nutrient. So if you can bring the pH down to 7 (neutral), which is what I'm thinking the vinegar (an acid) is supposed to do, and eliminate other sources of nitrogen to Gryphon's 'pee place' (for instance, if you fertilize the rest of the lawn, don't fertilize that spot), you might be able to coax some sort of ground cover there, especially if you can find a way to keep it well watered without creating mud.

If you find something that works, let me know. In winter, the Packmembers all have their own favorite areas to pee in and it always takes us still about July to get the grass cover back to where it should be.
I myself just having got Major, I am waiting to see if where he goes turns yellow, but he never had yellow snow like my female! I too have had to wait sometime to get my grass back. So I'm going to fertilize Roxys favorite spots and see what happens. But where Major prefers to pee seems to be holding green But will keep all informed.
