Smell ?

Hello to all  of you dogs lovers . I have to Scottish Terrier and  12 years old  Cocker Spaniel .
I  have a question , and  I think you guys may be able to help .
I live in Arizona  and my backyard is sort of desert , no grass but  just  little gravel .I use water to rinse it out but I can  still  smell it
Do you guys have any idea what to do to neutralize  the smell  from the places  they use to pee on ?
I know there are some  solutions at the pets store , but  I  was thinking  there has to be some  type of home remedy
or something I can do  without  spending  tons of money .
Any  information would be greatly  appreciated .

Thank you guys for your help . Yes  , looks  like I am getting closer to some type of solution . I have found  some home made recipes with vinegar , 3 % hydrogen peroxide and baking soda .  I have made a gallon of this natural home remedy and used it outside . Yes , the problem is only  outside , fortunately they are good and clean inside the house , so no need  for cleanup  .
Thank you again

I've heard that vinegar is good for getting rid of smells too. If you use white vinegar it doesn't smell so bad as the brown vinegar.

Ordinary water might help too. If you hose down the yard? Or if that would make it muddy, maybe put water on the pee-spots.
I've heard that female dogs like to find the scent of where they did a pee last, to do it again in the same place, whereas male dogs are more likely to do it in many different places all around.

You know I cant swear to this but my Momma used to wipe any' mess' with vinegar she said it neutralised the smell, only thing is you may end up with a house that smells like an English 'Chippy"  ....     ....
