@xochiquetzl_xkvn Hi! I tried this in my test save, over 5 sim days. I do believe there is a bug with not getting the "learned" notification but I'm not sure about whether or not the dog actually did learn to go potty. The first two days, my sim had one dog with smart, active, and friendly traits. On the third day, I added another dog with couch potato, friendly and loyal traits. I had my sim ask them to go potty three times a day. The "smart" dog learned how to sit, heel and rollover and received learned notifications. She did not receive the learned potty notification after 15 attempts. The "not smart" dog received the learned to potty notification after two days and only 6 attempts. I did observe the "not smart" dog go outside to potty after that.
Here's the thing, though. I kept watching over the next couple days, without giving the potty command. I wasn't sure because the "smart" dog was outside going potty. Then she pooed on the porch. This was on the Daisy Hovel lot in Willow Creek. Does the game consider a porch as "outside" even when it's covered? The porch has no ceiling so probably. Later, I observed the "smart" dog have the fire hydrant thought bubble and immediately went down the stairs and off the porch to pee. So, it kind of seems like maybe she did learn to go outside even though I never got the "learned" notification. I'm going to keep an eye on this for a while longer and will post any updates.
