If you could also provide your saves, that would be great.
Yes, as Crin said, your saves could be really helpful for us.
You can find the instructions here:
We have not been able to reproduce this issue at our end, and we could use them to pinpoint the root cause.
Thank you very much!

I am sorry I canot send what you want.
I had to delete the game for some other reasons, but before that I deleted the dog and gave it the same dog, but with another character and it all worked fine. But in the new complete game it started again. I used the same dog, but with another character and a dog constantly whining too. So I deleted the dog again and chose a different race and everything works as it should. I think the problem is not character but race, it is West White Highland Terrier.
Sorry for my english 🙂

Yes I'm having this same issue... hope I'm not too late in replying here?
Basically the dog whines a lot to get walked. Walking a dog takes a looooong time [measured in sim hours] for it to be content finally. But everyday its the same thing, wanting more walks and just whining all day. I even tried changing the dogs traits figuring it had something to do with the loyal trait. My only reprieve is to tell it to go hunt so it stops bothering me. If this is working as designed then the design is incredibly annoying, so I figure there is most likely something wrong.
I have tried the independent trait, still bugged me even after I had the dog walk itself. I tried the couch potato trait, still constantly wanted constant walks. I tried adventurous in hopes she would go out more on her own, still just wanted to whine at me. I tried slueth in hopes that she would be more interested in other things around the house, nope. I havent tried deleting the dog and making a new one however but I can try that next I guess, I figure something about the dog must be broken... I dont remember but maybe the dog was originally with the active trait and something about the trait is broken and never goes away even after its changed? I don't know, but the active trait says it likes walks so maybe, even tho I dont remember giving it the active trait.
In my own opinion, I think maybe it has to do with small dog breeds particularly? From what I've seen of other's videos and such it seems that they all had small dogs in common. Also as an aside, it bothers me that my small dog cant sleep on the bed with me, but cats can? Maybe you could fix that as well? Other than that i've seen videos of sims dancing with larger dogs but I cant seem to do it with my small dog, so another case of small dog owners getting the shaft I guess.
Otherwise I looked up the information provided earlier about how to share save files, and if its so important its strange that when I try to upload it directly to the forum using the option under the reply box it says "Unsupported extension type". I suggest fixing it so one can easily upload save files to the forum.
So I made a link for you instead. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1kobqGMrKv6AQVOt5rcxNERwHIawhXFcX
This is the first time I've uploaded a save file, I hope I uploaded the right file. There were many to choose from, so I used deductive reasoning to select the correct one.
As a last thought, I came here mostly to report a bug with tea and coffee causing sims to burn to death. But I guess Ill make my own topic for that since I haven't found one for it specifically.

It's never too late :D (well as long as a product still gets patches and is in development)
Thanks for your report and saves - Simrissie7 years agoNew Vanguard
I also experience this problem in my game - also with a small breed dog.

My sim’s dog is still constantly whining for more attention, even though my sim just spent hours walking him and interacting with him. The dog’s mood is in the green for roughly half an hour in the game, then turns grey and the dog starts whining again for more attention, especially if my sims are in the middle of a task (even though it was just fed, walked, went pee, was given tons of affection, etc.). The dog constantly interrupts my sims’ tasks for attention, to the point that I have to lock the dog out of the dining room so my sims can actually eat without being regularly interrupted by the dog initiating an interaction with them. Please fix this soon, as it makes families with dogs just about unplayable!
