Dog leashes

Walking dogs has been bugged out for me for ages 😔 I don't select go for a walk now as it never works properly instead I select "leash" from the pet care options then click on the ground a bit far away from the home and select "go here" and keep doing that in random places until they eventually freeze up, then unleash my dog, releash my dog and click on "go home" from my sims icon. It's the only way I can get the energized moodlet and my dog is satisfied.
