I suppose it doesn't help that my two biggest dogs (70 and 100 pounds) are male -- I've noticed that male urine does the most damage to plants and smells worse.
Its a dog thing. They are marking the territory and or communicating. Not so much of a problem with just one, but with two they may be just trying to one up man-ship one another. Kinda like guys do. That is why the female may not be part of the problem. Shes different.

As far as getting them to stop is good luck, if you do use coyote urine, they may just move it to another area and then you would have to do it again and again, and its quite possible that you may have a whole yard smelling like dog and coyote piss.

Have you tried consulting your veterinarian?
