Reseeding dead patches on lawn

Hi all,
I've recently laid a new lawn in my garden and unfortunately my new dog has done quite a bit of damage from urinating on it. I've treated the area to neutralise the excess nitrogen and removed the dead grass, now I want to reseed the patches. Am I able to just go ahead and fork the area / spread new grass seed with a little top soil and lightly water for a few weeks until established? I've attached some photos of the areas in question. Grateful for any advice.
Thanks,
Dan

That gives you time to mow the surviving gras a little shorter - but not scalp it - and rake over the bare patches to loosen the soil ready for the seeds. If your dog pees again, just pour on a bucket of water to dilute it as soon as possible.
