Take a pet for a Walk

How do you take a pet for a walk? I am only getting Ask to go potty and the pet won't go outside. My sims live in an apartment. Any suggestions?
  • Probably irrelevant at this point but most doors have been initially locked for my pets. If you unlock it then ask them to go they will run right outside, apartment or house. Before I realized this I picked up the puppy and walked myself outside then put it down and asked it to go. Once it was done I went upstairs and called it up and it wasn't able to get back inside.
  • i want to make my puppy happy again but its still uncomfortable it wants to take a walk can somebody help me
  • Hi, @octavion4444 - check out this guide:
    Neither adult nor juvenile dogs start knowing how to pee or poop outside, at least when they're made in CAS. Puppies will need help to go outside, so pick them up under the pet care menu. Walk your Sim outside and select 'put down'. Now you can find the option to ask it to go potty. Do this several times, and you'll get a notice that the dog has learned to pee outside. You can also reinforce this by scolding (mean) or lecturing (friendly) them after they have gone indoors. It is as yet unknown if treats reinforce good behavior, but they're only $5 so give it a shot. I've not yet successfully taught a puppy to go outside. I think they learn when grown up.

    Carl's site has a lot of useful guides, as does SimVIP & a number of other fansites; you may find them helpful. They're usually easy to find if you google TS4 --& then whatever you want to know.
