Anyone have experience of Bermuda grass holding its own with dogs?

I've got a small backyard with 2 large dogs. When I bought the house, the grass in the back was in really good shape (centipede I think) but now almost nonexistent. Mostly sand and weeds. I've learned since then in Florida in this sandy soil you can't get by with watering 3 days a week like I was. Add in wear from the dogs and the yard didn't stand a chance.

From everything I've read, it seems like Bermuda is a good choice for me to throw some sod down and increase the irrigation cycle but was wondering if anyone had any experience with this same situation.

If not, any suggestions?
