Tutorial on how to get started with the mod

Obtaining your dog

Vanilla Taming Method

Step 1

Find a wild wolf (the Vanilla Minecraft wolf).

Step 2

Feed it bones (right click with a bone in your hand) until hearts appear above its head. If a collar appears on its neck and it sits down, you've done it right!

Step 3

Feed the dog at least one Training Treat and the dog will disappear for a very brief second and a dog without a collar will take its place. At this point, you now have a Doggy Talents dog.

Alternative Method

Doggy Charms

You can automatically spawn a tamed dog by using the Doggy Charm item that comes automatically in your inventory bar when you start a game with this mod installed (If you have the starting items configuration marked true).

Interacting with your dog with the GUI

Once you have a Doggy Talents dog, you will be able to right click on it with a stick in hand (main or secondary) to open the dog information/talents menu. This menu allows you to change the name of your dog, toggle its behavior, add talents, and toggle whether to obey other players. In the menu, your dog's basic level, dire level, and level spending points will be displayed just under the name box. The more you level up your dog using the Treats in this order: Training Treat, Super Treat, Master Treat, and Dire Treat; the more points you have available to spend on your talents. Eventually, the dog will hit its maximum level, which will not allow you to get anymore points once it hits this level cap.
