This is really common! I'd say at least 10% of dogs will not pee and poop in the same place. Those sprays sort of work, most are denatured dog urine. The real thing works better! To attract a dog, we recommend heading to your local shelter or dog day care with a napkin and a ziplock bag.
I promise, nothing works better. It sounds terrible, but you will only need to do it once. Place the napkin in a puddle (they're everywhere, watch your step) then place the napkin in a ziplock. When you get home, place a pinprick hole in the bag. You wont smell anything, but your dog will. They have very sensitive noses. Place the bag under the mat or in the location you want then to "go" Hope this helps improve their aim
