My dog keeps eating Hosta leaves.
I've looked up Hosta online, and it turns out it contains saponin, which can be toxic to dogs, and it's recommended that dog owners not have Hosta on their yards.
And, its roots are hardy, and it's impossible to get rid of them completely without pesticides (which is toxic to dogs, obviously).
How do I use pesticide that it doesn't harm my dog? Also, what do I plant in their stead?
I live in a very rainy area, and Hosta has been very good at soaking up the excess moisture during the wet season.
why don't you just pull it up?

They are a hardy plant, but this is not true at all. Just dig them up OP, uou won't have any problems. If you do see some more come up next spring it will be small, and easily dealt with the same way.
If you would like to keep your hostas spray deer repellent on them. It has cayenne pepper in it so your dog should avoid it.
I don't know what zone you are in, but I would recommend irises to replace your hostas. Good luck.
