Dog house training - I don't understand

I am not understanding how to train a dog to outside on their own. I have a dog door. The dog appears to want to potty but won't go outside on their own. Does this mean I have to walk the dog? I see the command to potty - do I have to take the dog outside myself and give the command? I read on a thread the dog can have the "independent" trait and go on their own. Correct? Help is appreciated.
