Would I need to remove the dead grass first and then apply or just apply? I would apply to the whole lawn because that would make the most sense. I am trying to figure out how to get rid of all the dead spot in the lawn.
Unfortunately there isn't anything we are aware of that will keep dog urine from creating dead spots in the turf. Adding limestone such as Soil Doctor Pelletized Lawn Lime to areas of the lawn where there is discoloration due to pet urine has been known to help as another option. You should remove dead grass as much as possible. You can use fertilizers that promote good grass growth to help encourage it to thrive and withstand some of the urination. Fertilizers with Iron often help with the greening of the lawn as well to try and offset some of the yellowing The key is encouraging/training pets to use areas with pine straw or rock/non lawn areas to prevent damage to lawn.
