    My back garden got badly damaged over the winter with the dogs. I have large bare patches. I am going to reseed it. When is the best time to do this? Whats the best way off doing it? And temporarily fencing off the affect areas the only way to keep traffic off it??

    How big is "large"? If you reseed, will the dogs keep using it as a run?

    When the grass is actively growing - this is the time to sow seed. So another few weeks at earliest April at latest.

    I put a pane of glass over a patch that need repairing (dog dug a hole) and it was fine in about 8 days. Dog dug it again, so a hole it remains.

    Just on the seed, I think there are some specific grasses that can be used and are more hardy to traffic.

    Check out the seed being used here and see if you can get your hands on some. I did a little research into it as I'm in the same boat, my issue is also drainage related.
