I've found that if dogs are still waiting by the door to go out to potty, despite already having gotten the notification that they can go on their own, if you place a doggie door they will start using that. That's in my experience anyway.
I've got the pet door and the puppy still waits by the front door even long after I got the pop-up saying he now knows to go outside on his own. It's definitely buggy.

That doesn't sound right - not every household has a roomba. And if they are supposed to go on the porch, what's the point of having them go outside at all? Then they could just pee inside the house and the "roomba would clean it up"... I hope this is an oversight that they will change in a patch later, so dogs will know the difference between a porch and the terrain.
The more I have played, I think they just go near the door. I have a backyard with no porch and the puppy generally goes right near the door. So I think they just go a certain distance from the door, regardless of whether it's a porch or grass....don't think they know anything about the particular terrain. Now this is for an adult dog....puppies can't go down stairs so they'll never get off the porch on their own anyway.
