Unlike humans, dogs don’t sweat to regulate their body temperature. As such, they don’t need to go potty as often as we do. Therefore, their odor can linger for longer periods of time. If you notice your dog has an unpleasant smell, it may be time to take steps to eliminate the problem.There are a number of options you can use to get rid of dog smell in your yard:-Have a clean up: If you notice your yard is starting to smell like the animal, have a cleanup session. Remove all items that are attracting the dog’s scent. Also, have a trash can that is out of reach so that it doesn’t get kicked over and filled with odor inducing items like bones or fur. Treating the problem at the source is one of the most effective ways to avoid it in the future.-Install a pet waste station: Another way to limit the area that is attracting scent is by installing a pet waste station. This will allow you to collect and dispose of waste without stepping on or into it. This will also keep it contained so that it doesn’t have the opportunity to leave its scent behind in other areas of your yard.-Choose plants with strong odor: There are plants that have strong scents that can help contain odor in your yard. Lavender is one popular choice because of its anti-bacterial properties, but other options include lemon verbena and catnip. Adding these plants to areas where your dog likes to go such as by digging holes or laying on the ground will help absorb and diffuse their scent throughout the area
