Trapping is only used to catch vermin creatures- small creatures represented by a . and not any letter.  Most vermin can be tamed without having a dungeon master but a few need one. To catch wild animals, you need a mechanism, a cage and a dwarf with the mechanics skill to build a cage trap, and hope some wild animal runs over it.  [[User:Bouchart|Bouchart]] 23:46, 11 January 2008 (EST)

==Wierd Training Problem==
 
I have a really wierd problem; I enabled the [[animal trainer]] skill, had a [[kennels]], had food and dogs but the animal trainer just walks up to the kennels, and walks away without doing anything. I tried removing all labors except animal training, all [[ranger]] related labors but nothing worked. What should I do?--[[User:Stinhad Limarezum|Stinhad Limarezum]] 02:10, 20 October 2008 (EDT)
 
 
:I'm not sure, but when it works properly, the trainer will stand in the center of the kennels and the dog will make a bee line for him from wherever it was on the map.  After a few minutes of hanging around, it will "become a stray war dog".  If there's no dog available, you'll get a cancellation message.--[[User:Maximus|Maximus]] 19:38, 21 October 2008 (EDT)
 
 
:Found the problem-I only had pet dogs and you needed a stray. I trained a few war dogs after that when the puppies grew up. --[[User:Stinhad Limarezum|Stinhad Limarezum]] 00:33, 22 October 2008 (EDT)
 
 
==Other responsibilities==
 
Either this labor or [[Animal caretaker]] is required in order for a dwarf to transfer a hostile creature to a cage (though, oddly, '''anyone''' can pit/pond a hostile); exactly which skill is response, I can't easily check at the moment. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 15:51, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 
*Looks like it's this skill. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 02:36, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
