| This article is about an older version of DF. |
A Kennel is a large 5x5 Template:L for an Template:L. To build a kennel you need one building material (Template:L, Template:L, Template:L Template:L) and a dwarf who has the Template:L, Template:L and/or Template:L Template:L enabled.
(Note that the Template:L associated with the Template:L "Template:L" (namely "Extract from a dead animal") is used solely at a Template:L. But that skill is one of the three that can build a kennel, and is listed as such. Just accept it.)
Training animals and taming vermin will automatically select an appropriate creature, while taming a caged wild animal will allow you to choose exactly which animal you wish to tame.
While the kennel's menu only offers the option 'train a war dog', in fact a wide range of animals can be trained. Also note that the queued task indeed is named 'train war animal'. The same goes for 'train a hunting dog'.
Kennel Tasks
Train a Hunting Dog
Requires: An Template:L and Template:L tame animal with [TRAINABLE] or [TRAINABLE_HUNTING] and an Template:L.
Hunting animals can be assigned (v-select dwarf-p-e) to follow a hunter and assist in the hunting process. They are faster and more agile than a regular tamed animal, but not as strong as a war animal and cannot be unassigned.
Although the Kennel lists the job as "Train a Hunting Dog", it becomes "Train Hunting Animal" once added and can train any permitted creature - see below for a complete list.
Train a War Dog
Requires: An Template:L and Template:L tame animal with [TRAINABLE] (or [TRAINABLE_WAR], although no such animals exist) and an Template:L.
A war animal is stronger than its untrained counterpart. War dogs make excellent companions when starting a fortress, when you can't spare many dwarves for fighting.
Although the Kennel lists the job as "Train a War Dog", it becomes "Train War Animal" once added and can train any permitted creature - see below for a complete list.
Capture a Live Land Animal
Requires: An Template:L and a Template:L.
Direct animal trappers to attempt to capture vermin in an animal trap. The trapper will carry an animal trap around the fortress and look for vermin to pounce on; then the trap will be hauled to an animal Template:L. Vermin caught through this job can be eaten or transferred to cages; they can be tamed now.
Tame a Small Animal
Requires: An Template:L and trapped vermin.
This is used to tame vermin for adoption as pets or eaten if left alone.
Tame a Large Animal
Requires: A Template:L, an appropriate piece of Template:L, and an Template:L.
The animal trainer uses the food to tame wild Template:L not already domesticated, such as those caught in cage traps. Some creatures cannot be tamed until the Template:L arrives.
Unlike other tasks, large animal taming allows you to select the exact creature you wish to tame. Putting the task on repeat is mostly useless, as it will simply result in the same creature being re-tamed over and over, wasting food and potentially filling the cage with seeds, though it does provide a way to increase Animal Trainer Template:L with a limited supply of caged animals.
Trainable animals
The following creatures can be trained into war animals or hunting animals:
- Template:L
- Template:L
- Template:L*
- Template:L *
- Template:L (hunting only)

Bugs
- As of 31.11 (31.12 as well?), training a war dog can sometimes cause the game to crash. More details surely to follow.
- Wild animals can't be tamed with food bought from the embark screen or from caravans. If no home-grown food is available, you'll get a "needs unrotten item" error. Bug:3667
