You can overseed the yard. Just use a garden rake (or even a tiller set at shallow depth) to loosen up the soil surface in the patches, then spread grass seed, lightly rake it in, cover with straw and keep it watered.

I don't think there's much you can do about the dog though.

May the force be with you

we give our dogs chewable pills called "grass-saver" it changes the acidity of their urine. I've also heard tomato juice will work and not sure what else.

Some other tips: water the area right after the dog urinates, it dilutes it. don't let the soil get too dry.

FYI, female dogs seem to do more damage.
