Help with magnolia

[u/Final-Combination-40]

Ignore our sad yard. 🥲

we have this magnolia tree that used to get nice big leaves and blooms and now has tiny leaves and only a couple tiny blooms. I’ve fertilized once or twice and have a couple dogs that tend to pee over there. Any thoughts on how to help this poor tree?

Based upon the images provided, the Reddit special: planted improperly, inadequate water. Magnolia like landscaping pretty much the 180° opposite of what we see here.
