The mixed-breed dog I adopted had probably never lived indoors before coming to my home. He had no concept of pee pads or outdoor potty training, and was extremely anxious. Strict correction would terrify him, causing him to curl up in a ball. Traditional training methods were progressing at a snail's pace because he would lose control when stressed. The vet suggested trying scent-guided products to reduce direct confrontation. I started using an "attractant" spray (another product from the same brand) on the balcony area where I wanted him to poop, and then generously sprayed this "no-go" spray on all other floors indoors. I sprayed very densely, almost like mopping the floor. His reaction was subtle. There was no dramatic aversion; it was more like the sprayed areas had lost their "attractiveness" to him. Previously, he liked to poop in the narrow, safe corner between the coffee table and sofa legs. After spraying, he would go in for a while, then quietly come out. Meanwhile, the "attractant" scent on the balcony seemed to become a definite option when he was anxious. After about ten days, he spontaneously went to the balcony for the first time. I almost cried at that moment. This spray gave me the feeling that it created a clearer, less stressful framework of environmental choices for this insecure dog. Instead of commanding him "no," it gently told him, "That's not comfortable over there, maybe you can try this side." This indirect guidance is so important for dogs with psychological trauma.

I have two cats and a new puppy. The puppy wasn't having accidents, but he kept trying to ""mark his territory"" around the cats' food bowls and the litter box area, which really stressed the cats out. I used this two-spray system to set up some boundaries. I sprayed the"Not Here"" around the cats' stations. For the puppy, I used the"Go Here"" on his bed and play area to reinforce his own space. It worked perfectly. The puppy now avoids the cats' zones—he'll walk up, sniff, and usually walk away. The cats are much more relaxed. It didn't fix every little squabble, but it stopped the major turf wars. This has been a really easy, low-stress way to help everyone respect each other's space. If you're blending pets, it's a great tool for keeping the peace. Read more
My neutered adult male dog has an annoying habit: he marks perfectly fine outside, but then likes to do "supplemental marking" on a few fixed spots indoors, especially near new objects or when I'm excited. It's purely behavioral. I've used single-purpose sprays before with mixed results. Your two-bottle system gave me a new strategy. After a deep clean, I saturated all his marking "hotspots" (sofa legs, bookshelf corners, doorframes) with the "Not Here" spray to create a strict no-go zone. At the same time, I sprayed the "Go Here" spray on a specific rock area near his usual bush in the backyard—where I wanted him to mark. It required patience. When I saw him start to circle and show pre-marking posture near an indoor hotspot, I would interrupt and calmly leash him, take him to the backyard, and guide him to the ""Go Here"" rocks. After sniffing, he'd usually mark there, and I'd praise him. After about two weeks, I noticed a pattern: he would quickly sniff his old indoor hotspots (even where the "Not Here" scent had faded) and move on without assuming the position. Conversely, he developed a clear preference for that "Go Here" spot in the yard. The key to this system is behavioral redirection—it doesn't just suppress the unwanted act; it actively channels that urge to a specific, acceptable location. For complex marking behavior, this is far more effective than just saying "don't. Read more
My dog's indiscriminate pooping and peeing is driving me crazy! I bought a dog toilet, but it didn't work. He doesn't know where to go. I put him in the toilet and he'd go for ages. This spray works wonders; he actually poops after smelling it! It's quite effective, and the spray is very fine. Most importantly, my dog doesn't resist it and cooperates quite well! Read more
I'm not sure. Sometimes I spray, and the dog avoids the corner. Other times, he seems to forget and will still go there. Maybe I need to be more consistent with reapplying? I don't fully rely on it now; I still have to keep an eye out. Read more
I adopted a 7-year-old dog with solid—but incorrect—indoor habits. He was used to going in the corners of the carpet. Cleaning and using a standard repellent alone didn't work well; he'd just pick a different corner. The two-bottle system made the difference. I deep-cleaned all his preferred corners and hit them hard with the "Not Here" spray. At the same time, I picked one fixed gravel spot in the backyard and, every time I took him out, sprayed it with the "Go Here" spray, then stayed there with him, encouraging him. The key was the redirection. When he was confused and blocked by the "Not Here" scent indoors, I actively leashed him and took him to the outdoor "Go Here" spot. Consistent repetition built a new association: the old indoor options were "closed" and unpleasant, while a new outdoor spot was "open" and paired with a positive experience (my presence, praise). Changing an old dog's habits is slow—it took about six weeks. But now, he clearly prefers that "Go Here" corner in the yard. The success of this system lies in synchronizing "breaking the old" with "establishing the new." A repellent-only spray does half the job; the "attract" spray completes it by providing a better, clear alternative. For resetting ingrained habits in adult dogs, this method feels more complete and kinder. Read more
