Amber has apparently really strong urine because the lawn is polka dotted with urine spots, I think I have heard of a product that can change the urine so it doesnt burn the grass. Does anyone know the name or if it works?

IMHO, no, not really.
(It's actually nitrogen, BTW, as opposed to burning, that causes the discoloring.)
She's a female, too, and squatting and peeing in one spot is more concentrated than spraying or streaming over a wider area.
You could always have her go to the same area and confine the discoloration, though. And make sure she's drinking plenty of water.
You could back off on the nitrogen fertilizer in a corner of the yard and lead her to that corner. Also water it well.
Others may have better ideas.

Most of the products out there are gypsum based. The 'nitrogen" in dog urine is ammonia which is also a base, not an acid so using lime as many do isn't productive.
IF you see the dog peeing, a quick rinse with the hose does as much as anything else.

Thanks for the response, will try those suggestions. Do you think the grass will come back in the spotted areas or will it need help to regreen?

It will probably have to be re seeded.

"a quick rinse with the hose does as much as anything"....
In Minnesota where it is USUALLY raining or snowing, abundant moisture, I rarely have urine burn on my country lawn. But last year, when we had drought, there were tons of yellow spots.
So I think the water is key. Perhaps a good dousing could bring it back to life.

I tried that...I would walk outside with the dog and spray the spot with water right after he peed.....but i had no luck..it still burned. I think you need to really douse the area and I felt bad standing there with a hose running for 5 minutes, it's a waste of water.
I eventually trained him to go in one are and covered it with some mulch. Then the area would get a good soaking when I put the sprinkler on and I never noticed an odour.
I've heard that pea gravel works well too.
Don't complain....TRAIN!!!
