The same goes for 'train a hunting dog'. Also, many exotic animals (signified by the {{L|Creature token#P|[PET_EXOTIC]}} tag in their {{L|raw file}}) require a {{L|Dungeon master}} in the fortress to allow animal trainers to train them. | |

The only way to choose which animal gets trained is by ensuring no other trainable animal can get to the kennels, e.g. by tying them up or caging them. |

If the animal is caged, and the food leaves seeds, this will result in a cage containing seeds -- which leaves the cage unusable for some purposes, such as loading cage traps. Currently, the only known way to remove seeds from a cage is to dump the seeds (without dumping the cage). |
