Can you protect your hydrangea with a 'cage' for awhile? If your dogs are lifting their legs on it, well, it will suffer. Also mulch of decayed leaves would help keep the soil cool & moist. If your soil is moist in that area and it has been raining on a regular basis then watering too much may cause a problem. When I hand water with the hose I try not to get the base of the plant wet, the roots that take up water are a few inches out from the base.

Hope you can figure it out.
