Scent spots often form when potty accidents are not cleaned properly. The stool and urine of pets have scent chemicals that can be stubborn to get rid of. This is the scent that keeps your pet coming back to the same spot and trigger the elimination reflex. Thorough cleaning using the right technique and cleaning products can help get rid of the scent spot. Don’t use ordinary household cleaning products because a dog’s keen sense of smell can still detect scent chemicals on the spot.

During housetraining, scent spots can interfere in your pet’s learning process. Whenever he gets near a scent spot, the elimination reflex is triggered and your may feel the urge to pee or poop .
