Take a pet for a Walk

i noticed there are newspapers in the pets buy section that say they are for dogs bathroom needs. has anyone tried those? i haven't played with a puppy yet so don't know if it's just decoration or if it is actually FOR that. but was thinking that was handy if it is

I agree I am having the walking problem but I'm going to just guess its because I have a puppy. But for the potty thing if you live in an apartment you either need to
1. buy newspapers
2. carry your dog outside to let them
3. give your pet the independent trait and then they can go all by themselves

I thought the newspapers were just a rug?

My dogs just had puppies 3 of them!! I put the newspaper down however, they are going on the porch and not the newspappers lol

Yeah im pretty sure dogs can use it

I just tried the papers wiht my Sims that live in an apartment. I had my Female sim walk to the papers and call the dog then ask to go potty and it didnt work. :(

yeah :( i read in another thread that it's just a rug. I was so disappointed at that. it seemed like a brilliant idea for apartments with puppies. They need to fix that i think

anyone know if there is a way i can walk more than one dog at the same time?

Yeah. The "newspaper" item is truly a swing and a miss. It's for looks only.

It would have been nice if they gave puppies a doggy litter box. The ones that look like a platform covered with grass.

I don't have any puppies in my game yet but what I do with my adult dog is (Pet Care-Leash) than I click on the sidewalk and choose (Go Here) since my dog is on his leash he automatically follows my sim and once they are outside (Pet Care- Go for a walk, etc). When they are walking there are moments when they stop for a few seconds and I take the opportunity to click on the grass/terrain and don't remember the exact name of the option to choose but starts with "Encourage". Once they return home I click on the dog and make sure he is unleash.

I had this problem but I have figured it out. I think it depends on the breed you have as to whether you can walk the dog and what level of training it has. I found it doesn't matter if you live in an apartment either. When dog ages up, you can walk him.
