Dogs are territorial, they would probably piddle in the property corners or the edge of the lawn if there were other dogs around. To help them, this may require some training and/or supervision.
What you should do is take them out on a leash when they are really ready to go, then walk them to the corner of the yard. Put some sand or soil down, or if the corner has a sign post or a fire hydrant then let them go there. They should get the idea.
