Heya SanniSilli,

Thanks for sharing your feedback on this. Please see the steps below on how you can create a Getaway specifically for Dog Training. The blog that EA_Solaire put together here Adventure Awaits - New Features and Gameplay Q&A has additional details as well.

If you want to create a Dog Training Getaway, you can do so by following these steps:

Create a household with at least one Sim and up to 7 dogs
- Only pets within a household can attend a Getaway. When in your household, you can assign them to a Role (or Roles).
Then, use the Getaway Planner from your phone, computer, or calendar to schedule a custom Getaway.
Next, make sure you have a supported* venue or lot that includes dog friendly objects.
- *Getaways are not supported at Retail lots, Vacation Rental Lots, Residential Rental lot Units, Wedding Venues, Vet Clinic Venues, Restaurant Venues, Small Business Venues, University Housing, all Lots in Batuu, or all secret/hidden lots (ex: Sylvan Glade, Sixam, etc).
- If you want to use a Custom Venue, you can build out the ideal space with plenty of objects for pets.
Assign your household Sim and pets to Roles of the Getaway.
- The specific Role Activities that you can use for your Pet Roles are: Pets Play and Learn - Cats & Dogs
- The specific Pet Caretaking Activities that you can use for your Sim Roles are:
  - Care for Animals - which will encourage your Sims to feed, clean, and care for Animals
  - Care for Pets - which will encourage your Sims to fill and care for Litter Boxes, Pet Bowls & Feeders, and Small Pet Habitats
  - Play with Pets - which encourages your Sims to socialize and play with Cats and Dogs
The dogs will then take part in the supported activities as part of the Getaway, such as Playing with available Dog Toys like Balls or Obstacle Courses. You can also direct your Sim to run the "Training …" interactions included in Cats & Dogs.

This is not exactly what we meant, we want the possibility of pets/horses from other households participating in getaways and going to custom venues to do the intended activities.

Thanks for clarifying this mmartinsdemoura, I've forwarded this feedback up to the relevant teams now.

  Right, Creating Animal Venues is one of the reasons I got the DLC and from the way it was presented it seemed like it would work differently so that's not correct. We want to give other families' pets/horses the opportunity to participate in trips and go to personalized locations to carry out the planned activities.
