Overall the lawn is…ok, it greens up in the warm months, very few weeds due to regular treatments from a company we use. I can’t get it to fill in the bare spots, or keep it looking ‘alive’.
I do not have an irrigation system, so we are manually watering with sprinklers when we can during the spring/summer. I have bad water flow so even though my lawn is small it takes me forever to water it (whole different issue, long story, got no resolve from anything I have tried)
my lawn is trafficked pretty well, between the dog and my daughter and her friends it gets a lot of abuse. It’s hard to tell in the pictures but the lawn is very matted down due the to foot traffic, and there are bare spots everywhere that I would really like to get filled in. The dog digging holes, that’s another issue, but we’re working on that too.
What can I do this spring to rejuvenate this lawn, fill the bare spots and make sure it stays healthy? Any help/advice is appreciated.

Oh boy. Centipede and water problems plus traffic is bad bad news. Unless you are near the coast centipede is not a great choice for NC. Gets a little too cold here most winters and clay is. It ideal. Again depends on where you are.
Some of those will def come back in spring/summer, but you’ll have to keep the dog off for a while, divert the water if you can, and have an ass load of patience.
If you want to keep it maybe consider a dry creek bed for the water run off, and isolate the dog to a certain area at least for a while.
