Ok, I give up!
I pick up poo daily, I tried some cutsey spray from PetsMart, baking soda, etc.
How do I get the urine smell to go away?
I know who the culprit is, I love him, but his urine is so strong smelling. I have taken samples of it to work (I work in a hospital lab) and found nothing but the fact that he could probably sneeze and get a bitch pregnant. Whew!
Is the odor due to my male's age/potency or am I not cleaning well enough? BTW, the kennel is 1/4 concrete and the rest is/was grass. It's mostly dirt now.
I use the kennel as a potty spot so as not to leave land mines all over the backyard, so everybody uses it.
TIA.

A hose spray attachment (like those miracle grow ones) full of bleach. Dilutes perfectly, it won't kill your lawn and odor is gone - gone.
I'm thinking this is a summer thing. Warm + no rain+ pee + bacteria = odor that could gag a skunk.

NP- Just be careful pouring the bleach in the container. Another option I've heard is simple green concentrate. I haven't tried that one though.

I am assuming the dogs need to be in the house until the bleach (or simple green) treatment are dry - correct?
Will the bleach residue hurt any of the other animals that may graze on whatever grass is still out there? I have chickens and a goat.
Thanks, again!

It should be diluted enough to not cause an issue but it could. So yeah, like most cleaners, remove the dog from the run til it's dry. Also diluted bleach shouldn't cause an issue for your grazers anymore than the issues it would cause for you drinking water with a little bleach in it. No idea on simple green, I don't use the stuff.
BTW, there is no solution I know of that'll take goat stink out of the ground especially as we swing towards fall.

Lisa, if the soil is clay-like at all it becomes saturated and even bleach will barely help. You may need to loosen the soil so the sun and air can help.

I have a slightly OT question, but it still pertains.
Any thought on how to get the stink out of a bush without killing it.
I almost hacked it down, but ended up leaving it since they pee on it rather than somewhere else. I'm honestly not sure how the bush is still alive 
But right now the ammonia smell is really intense.

We had a dead rat right next to our house. I HAVE NEVER EVER EVER SMELLED ANYTHING THIS BAD!!!!! After I removed it the place still smelled like you wanted to throw up just thinking about that. I poured 3% hydrogen peroxide on it and it went away instantly. But again, that was not caused by ammonia and I did not pour it directly on the bushes.... just another thing you might want to try. It becomes O2 and water when it reacts so no ill side effect here.

I used peroxide on a spot on our floor in the back room that had been peed on before we moved in, then over the last 8 years my dogs, and even a cat kept going back to it no matter what I cleaned it with.
Finally I poured hydrogen peroxide over it, and put some thick plastic so it would take longer to dry.
Bleached the floor a tiny bit in the area, but the smell is gone and they have left it alone, and I can restain and seal it.
I can't really saturate a bush with peroxide, but I do bet you could pour it on the dirt though and it would help.
