 | |  | | If you use mulch, remember to stay away from cocoa mulch or any of those hulls as they're poisonous to dogs. (most folks here probably know that, but my neighbor with dogs didn't)
When I had a muddy spot right near the steps where Lu crosses to get to her yard, I bought a cheap indoor/outdoor mat and laid it down there. It finally got ragged enough for me to throw it out, and it really compacted the dirt/grass down enough that the spot doesn't get muddy like it used to and I haven't needed to put a mat back there. Probably doesn't help your large area along a long fence, but for small places it might help. |  |  | |  |

But they will just create a path somewhere else. We use pine straw. We had some drainage issues in our yard which kept it wet for a while after rain. Spreading the pine straw not only helped soak it up but kept the dogs from getting their feet muddy.
