Getting Started

This is a simple guide on how to get started with Doggy Talents Next.

Obtaining a Trained Dog

Before anything, you must obtain a Trained Dog first. There are currently two ways to achieve this:

From Vanilla Wolves/Dogs to Trained Dogs

Use a Training Treat to train your first Doggo!

This is the standard way to get your Trained Dog. A vanilla wolf is required (or one of the variants).

Check out the Variant Checklist

  1. You can obtain them as usual in the game by feeding a wild wolf some bones until its texture changes and heart particles appear. (DTN 1.18.0+): You can now directly convert an untamed wolf into a Trained Dog with a Training Treat.
  2. Right click the vanilla wolf/dog you want to train and feed it a Training Treat.
  3. It now turns into a DTN Trained Dog!

Initial Summoning

If you have enable_starting_items set to true on your server configuration file. You can use the Doggy Charm from the Starter Bundle automatically presented in your inventory when you first join that world.

Accessing the Dog Menu

Right-click with a Stick

To begin interacting with your dog, Right-click the Dog anytime with the Stick

(DTN 1.18.0+): Sneak + Right click the GUI will open.

From there you can start customizing your dog by naming, adjusting your dog mode, etc.

More information can be found in the Dog Menu...

Note:

  • Trained Dogs are now becoming [Immortal](Immortal Dogs).
  • (DTN 1.18.21+) Now you can breed your dogs with the Breeding Bone.
  • They have [nourishment points](Basic Core Stats#Nourishment_Points), which means having food in your inventory is a must. You don’t want your furry friend to starve.
