Using glyphosphate in a garden with a dog

My little bro lives in rented accomodation and the garden was horrendous. He cut it all down from waist height, but didn't dig the roots out. It is mainly brambles& sticky weed. Obviously he wouldn't listen to his big sister who told him to dig the roots out hehe. He then put a load of gravel down. Anyway obviously it is growing back and he was asking about using glyphosphate on the new growth. He has a dog. Would it be safe if he sprayed the ground and then kept the dog out of the garden for 2 days?

I would have thought so, providing the dog is not in the habit of chewing plants.

If you do it on the morning of a dry day all should be OK the following day!

It neutralises when it touches the soil so if it is a dog that likes to root around in the soil then again I would think things should be OK
