How would you go about putting grass back in these spots?

One year old pup dug em out. Ignore my actions for getting her under control and focus on the grass. I’ve got a 2 year old to factor.
I was thinking of staking off a screen and planting seeds? 2 year old needs to be monitored to make sure she doesn’t pull up the stakes. With that said, I have a sprinkler system. Divots are about 2 inches deep so they aren’t straight holes.
What would you do?
I’m in Colorado btw, that’s why we’re still brown

Need grass type. Tx is still mostly brown too.
Some grasses would fill that in within a couple weeks if you just put sand down. Some won’t.

Probably best to sand and plug it if you have or can get a plug tool. Also fertilize once then water every day. Seed or letting it spread will take a month or so.

Any good videos you know of that go through sand and plugging I haven’t done it before.
I’ll look myself, and I will try that in early May when we finally start getting consistently warm. The challenge is gonna be the dog and my 2 year old, but that’s up to me keeping an eye on them

I'd rope it off and find some sod. I grab a bag of scotts turf builder soil that has fertilizer in it. Mix it with sand and a bag of generic top soil. Put a layer of that soil mixture down after loosening up soil of target area and level it off. Put sod down. Use the soil mixture to pack against the edge/border of all the new sod, interior seams and perimeter.

Bring it back up to level with Scotts lawn soil. If it’s a shady spot, mix a little “fine fescue” with the bluegrass seed you’re trying to match with your existing lawn. Don’t get anything from the “big box” stores because they have cheap stuff. You don’t have large areas, so perhaps over time, your bluegrass will grow over them. They send out rhizomes to do that. I have no experience with bluegrass, So I don’t know how long that would take.
