Please address his hydration issues first - Make sure he's drinking normal amounts of fluid. If regularly dehydrated, he should have a blood sugar test to exclude diabetes. Fluids to start at 20mls per kg straight away and repeat a couple of hours later.
The most common cause of dark urine is a lack of sufficient liquid intake. This is not common among youngsters, but also not unknown. If your son has no other symptoms, for example if it hurts when he pees, try making sure that he drinks at least 2 quarts of liquid per day, and see if this does not solve the problem.
