at night, go take a wizz around the yard(away from hops). the dog will re-mark this spot as his. Do this every night for a few weeks till he gets the point. if the lady next door spots you doing this,just smile and wave.

... with your HAND, please.
 
My hops grow outside the electronic fence, so luckily my dogs can't get to them. They do piss on (and destroy) a lot of plants in the garden tho - my wife gets steamed.
 
Yes dog piss will kill them for sure if they pee there all the time. My shepard pissed on my flowering crab everytime he went outside and that tree is now dead and ready for firewood. Like underbelly said, if they continue to pee there just water it after to dilute it. I also read that somewhere as well

Dogs like to pee where they can already smell there pee. This is why you water it down so they go to other spots where they have been peeing instead.
 
Dog urine kills grass from nitrogen, salt, and PH damage. I'm sure it can have the same effect on hops or anything else. Water heavily and sprinkle with gypsum from home depot to neutralize. Make sure you use low nitrogen fertilizers so you don't compound the problem.
