RE: The Pet Privy

I'd give up on shrubs altogether and go for a hardy tree, with a nice ground
layer of bark mulch for absorption, and some smallish boulders/rocks for
decor (which will also help keep the canines away form the tree).

I doubt that any "dog repellents" would work.  If the dogs have been using
this corner for that long, it's become an official meeting place on the
local Dog Register, and the scent is there to stay.
