So glad I came across this thread! We are beyond frustrated with our yard. 3 Catahoulas and "lawns" do NOT mix well! We no longer have "dust" in the house... it's now all "dirt"!
I'm thinking about ordering that book referred to in this thread, but wondered if there is also info in there regarding ground cover options vs. just "garden" info. I can't find a store with the book in stock so can't browse it first so thought I'd check. At this point, we've pretty much settled on pea-gravel and mulch, but would be interested in other options, because it's a pretty big backyard. Anyone have any luck with clover instead of grass?
Here's a pic of the three of them playing (it gets LOUD with Catahoulas!) in the snow... ah the snow. The first year I've ever been happy to see snow... snow=no mud!
