I have this bug as well and have heard of it through both Discord and Facebook communities. 

I have 5 dogs currently, 3 of them have the Smart trait 2 don't. 

The 2 that don't will go out to potty on their own, The other 3 will beg and wait for my sim to tell them to go out. No amount of training seems to fix this. 

I do have a few CAS cc in and MCC command center, but this still happens Base game. 

I have all packs and Expansions.

I like to confirm that Smart dogs can not learn to pee outside on their own. 

It was brought to my attention by someone on the forum and I changed the trait Smart to loud for 2 adult dogs and they learned to pee outside on their own, after being told 2 times. It happened at the same time, so it has to be because the Smart trait is messing with the learn to pee outside part of the game.

My game is CC free and I do not use Mods

I play a few different families. The corgi and dachsund learned to go on their own and they don't have the "smart" traits. But the German Shepherd and Husky, who are both "smart" have to be told to go. It is pretty annoying.
