Ok, I'm not really a newbie at this, yet I'm just stumped.

I can't get war dogs trained. I have about 30 adult dogs that are not pets. They are not caged and are wandering around the pub with my on break dwarves. I have a kennels on the 2nd floor of my barn, and I have no problem hauling other animals up there to be caged or butchered at the butcher shop next door. I not only have a dwarf with animal training, animal caretaking and animal hauling on with 'No Job', but I have a Dungeon Master that won't do the job either. The job doesn't cancel, it just sits there.

What step am I missing?

Solved: see below.

As could be predicted, after pissing around with this for 4 hours, 2 minutes after I post to the forum I solve the problem.

The block that I built the kennel from was forbidden from a mass block sorting effort some time back. 'View items in buildings' on the kennel, select the building material, unforbid, dwarf comes running to train an animal.

Is this typical behavior, because I think I would have bumped into it before now?
