Hey guys.

I'm trying to train some war dogs.. I'm not quite sure I'm doing it right though. The wiki says I have to assign a room for animal training (I did, it has 3 cages), give a dwarf the animal training / animal caring skill, and assign the animals to the dwarf for training. I've done all of those steps, assigning 4 (already tamed) war dogs to a single dwarf. I believe that should increase the war dogs tamed level right? He also doesn't tame the animals in the designated room, he just runs from the meeting area to his bed room, over and over. The units page says he has no job.

I really feel like I'm missing something here.. Am I?

There is a difference between taming and training.  All dogs you have are automatically domesticated and don't need taming.  Training a dog as a hunting dog or war dog is a one step process, and doesn't need to be repeated.  Animal care isn't needed for this (or any other task, as it has no use as of now).

Cages aren't needed for taming (unless the animal was wild and just caught) or training.  It's only necessary to have a zone designated for animal training for both tasks.

More details here.

Ah I see. I will eventually tame wild animals so at least the effort wasn't wasted. Thanks a lot.
