Re-naming the dogs to have different last names allows them to be friendly once again. Weird issue though. One of our testers was able to reproduce it using your save @justine_chiro, thanks much!

I'm not sure if this would be the same or a separate issue, but I don't have the "Be nice to..." option at all. I've seen it mentioned multiple times and have looked for it in two separate households, none of the pets have the option.

Do they have the same name ? Are you using mods ?

well, like I said, whenever I want my dog to be nice to another dog, he won't do it.
I'm not sure if it's a bug so if it's not, please tell me what I'm doing wrong? Or why my dog won't be nice to the other dog?

What is your current game version number? 1.48.94.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Pets, Seasons, Get to Work
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Create a household with pets in it, see if you have the option for them to "Be Nice to..." anyone. Have two pets that are friends with the household owner and see if there is an option to "Encourage breeding with..."
What happens when the bug occurs? There is simply neither of these options on any pet.
What do you expect to see? 1. "Be Nice to": A selection window appears for a pet to be nice to a nearby Sim or pet 2. "Encourage breeding with": A selection for a pet to breed with a nearby pet, which will either succeed or fail.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.

I wrote this on the forums:
"Sims 4 Pets expansion
No pets are able to breed because there is no "Be nice to..." or "Encourage breeding with..." interactions available for any pets.
Even when all requirements are met: enough space is in household, and their relationship with household Sim is high enough, and they are un-neutered and opposite genders. My Sims 4 game has been repaired. There is simply no option on any pet for "Be nice to..." or "Encourage breeding with...".
This seems to be a common bug for many Pets expansion players and I have seen forum posts on other sites for over a year. Please release a hotfix or patch for this issue. Thanks"

HI @adrenalive
I merged your post with existing thread for the be nice.
Are your pets adopted ? There have been reports for the breeding not working in this thread: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-CD-Sims-Can-t-Lecture-become-companion-for-adopted-Pets/m...

EA Support told me to post on both locations.
Yes my pets are adopted, like I said I meet ALL the requirements. This is a bug that needs to be fixed.

How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.48.94.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Cats and Dogs, Get to Work
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Adopt two dogs of opposite gender from being strays and attempt to befriend them and breed them.
What happens when the bug occurs? There is no option for my male and female (Neither neutered) dogs to "be nice to...." or "encourage to mate with." Also, the dogs in my household do not seem to socialize with each other. On restarting the game there is still no social option to encourage my dogs to like each other or for them to mate. I have checked in cas to make sure they are both not neutered and both opposite genders. My sim is friends with all the dogs. Also, my household is not full.
What do you expect to see? I would expect to see the "be nice to.." or "encourage to mate with options.

Update: They are interacting, even with hearts so they do like each other. Still no option for being friends or breeding.
