OK ... I'm not a dangerous person! You shouldn't judge someone you don't even know! How do you even get danger out of a simple question!
And as for WHY I want to know is for reasons of training if that's OK with you!

Hi there...Common odours that are effective deterrents for dogs and cats are:
citrus (primarily towards cats), cayenne pepper, coffee grounds, pipe tobacco, lavender oil, lemon grass oil, citronella oil, peppermint oil, eucalyptus oil, and mustard oil.
"Havahart's Cat Repellent" uses capsaicin pepper and oil of mustard as its active ingredients. It repels by both taste and odor, has a lemon scent.
Every animal responds differently to each of these. Some will not be phased by them and others will be quite revolting.
For training purposes they are applied on items that are to encourage avoidance behaviours and not for use with a squirt bottle as they could harm the eyes or respiratory system.

Cats hate citrus smells and spicy smells like hot sauce. I don't know about dogs.

vinegar.
You can train a cat to not jump on things by using a spray bottle filled with water and a bit of vinegar. Everytime the cat exibits a behavior that you do not want them doing (jumping on the counter), you immediately squirt them..but try not to aim for the face unless you are using only pure water.

Pungent odors I have heard. But then you have the litter box that no one seems to mind and to me that is pretty pungent. I do no for sure that the can smell and hear thenigs we can't like animals outside the house, tremors bad weather and fire.

I don't really know. They tend to like things that smell gross. Example, they like my hubby's feet. Ewe. So I guess citrus probably...But why would you want something that smells bad for training? To keep em off something?
