I think it's asking a lot of a all lawn to cope with the wear and tear meted out by 12 busy paws the year round, even without the problem of the pee. If you're not "into lawns" I'd not attempt a lawn in that situation.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
My buddy had 3 dogs, two boys and a girl and had a big problem with grass developing brown patches, reseeded it every year to no avail. Then sadly Annie passed away and now there brown patches are gradually lessening. Maybe it was the hormones in the female urine.... Astro turf has its drawbacks too.. Particularly on Bonfire night and the fallout from roman candles melting the grass..

Dog Rocks placed in the water bowl

Dog rocks do nothing. They are merely snake oil. The only solution is to pop out after the dog pees and rinse it off with a watering can.
The reason that bitch wee does harm is that it is left in a puddle, dogs spray a smaller volume onto vertical plants rather than onto the lawn.
Tomatoes aren't toxic to dogs but they don't do anything to the urine!
