Herbicide to use on foxtails safe for pets

I have a huge bark covered hillside covered in various types of foxtails. Next spring we will use a pre-emergent to head off the problem, but we are trying to figure out a way to get rid of the current population. The largest population is exactly where my dogs run along our fence. Is there something safe we can use to kill the seed pod so they quite reproducing? Also, can you recommend a pre-emergent for next spring that is safe for the dogs, yet will kill the foxtails? There is nothing growing except for weeds on the hill and our newly planted palm trees.
Thank you for any pointers!
RJ
