A 15-foot pine yellowing from the inside out after transplant and dog damage likely suffers from transplant shock (root loss) more than dog injury. Symptoms can take 1-2 years to appear. Conifers show stress slowly.
Hire a certified arborist to evaluate root health, planting depth, girdling roots, and soil conditions. The tree may recover with deep watering and mulch, or it may be in irreversible decline.
Protect the trunk with a hardware cloth cage. Keep dogs away with fencing. Mulch to cover exposed roots.
