🤝 Taming & Training

Tamed, then trained

Every dog's action card shows two separate stats: Tamed and Trained. They're earned in different ways and do different things.

🍖 Taming — the sell gate

Open any dog's card and press 🍖 Treat. Each click adds +25 Tamed for 15🪙. Four clicks (60🪙) reaches 100%.

🎾 Training — bonus + specialties

Once a dog is 100% tamed, its card offers a 🎾 Train at Market → button. That takes you to the Market → 🎾 Training Academy, where you can pay for training sessions.

Each session costs 30🪙. The Academy stays open on the current dog between sessions — you can train again, pick another dog, or come back later. Progress is saved on the dog.

Training milestones

✨ Advanced training — one specialty per dog

Once a dog is both 100% tamed and 100% trained, the Training Academy offers one advanced specialty for that dog. It costs 100🪙, it's permanent, and it adds +120🪙 to the sale price. Some breed-specialty combos are the highest-value dogs in the game.

🐺 Wolves — never tamed, never trained

Wolves have neither stat. The Treat, Train, and Wash buttons don't appear on a wolf's card at all — those dogs only have Feed, Calm, Send to Vet (if sick), Store, and Deliver to the Wolfkeeper.

Wolves also agitate the meadow and can be bitten back by the very dogs they anger — the Kennel is the only safe place to keep them while you level them up. Full details on the Kennel page, and the wolf-lineage behaviour including Wolfdogs is on the Breeds page.

💡 Quick tips

• Train after taming, not before. The training button literally doesn't appear on an untamed dog's card.
• Deep Bond halves both costs. 30🪙 taming + 60🪙 training, instead of 60 + 90. Worth breeding for if you tame and sell a lot of dogs.
• Requests can ask for less than 100% training. A Lv 4 buyer might only need 72% trained — check the 📋 Needs line on the request card before assuming you have to train to max.
• Only invest in advanced training on keeper breeds. Advanced training on a dog you're about to merge or deliver is wasted — it goes with the dog.
• Taming is a Market requirement, not a Court one. Court and Pack don't care about taming at all — a bare Lv 6 dog can be delivered to a Court client without spending a single Treat.
• Don't train dogs you're going to merge. The merge replaces both parents with a new dog — training progress is lost.
• Wolves are the one exception to everything. They can't be tamed, trained, bathed, or groomed. Just kennel them and deliver to the Wolfkeeper.
