I kept having this problem, solution:
1)Water down any of the stained patches after you dog has been for its buisness.
2) I do not know if you can outside of the UK but here you can get these rocks from pet stores such as pets at home ,you place them in your dogs water bowl and they make your grass nice again without hurting your dog.
Actually, it is not just female dogs' urine that kills grass. Why it seems that way is because females squat to urinate and that puts much more urine in one spot than when a male dog urinates on something like a fence or post or bush. This makes it so less urine ends up in one spot on the lawn. The reason the urine of both female and male dogs creates the brown spots in the lawn is that the nitrogen levels are high, too high for such a concentrated amount in one spot. Their urine is also acidic (high ph) and that adds to the damage of the grass in that spot. You can buy neutralizing products at lawn care centers for helping to avoid the brown spots.
Use Dog Rocks, they are brilliant. They reduce the amount of Nitrate in your dogs drinking water, meaning that they produce less, which stops the horrible burnt patches in your lawn. I have been using them for years.
Yes, the pee will create little yellow patches a lot of the time. You can prevent this by either watering the areas where you dog pees really well with water. There are also little grass-saver pills that you can give to your dog in their food that will hep to preserve the longevity of your lawn.

Does deer urine kill grass?
Not nearly as bad as dog urine. In other words, no not really.
Does male dog urine kill grass worse than female dog urine?
No. The reason dog urine kills grass is because of the high amount of nitrogen found in dog urine. In a lawn where no fertilizer has been applied, dog urine will iincrease plant growth and green-up the grass. The problem sometimes comes when your lawn has high nitrogen levels from fertilizer and the dog urinates. This would be an "overdose" of nitrogen and cause the turf to burn. It's a common misconception that "acid" in dog urine kills grass. The truth is that dog urine can have a pH of 6.0-8.0(slightly acidic to slightly alkaline) which is no where near acidic enough to kill grass. True Dog urine spots will many times be brown in the middle and growing vigorously around the brown spot. You can now buy a product called Dog Rocks which you put in the dog's water bowl. After a couple of weeks you should notice an improvement in the colour of your lawn. The rocks alter the pH level of the urine to prevent the 'burn'.

Dog urine can cause brown spots on grass due to its high nitrogen content, which can "burn" the grass. To prevent this, dilute the urine by watering the spot immediately after your dog goes.
