:::I'm not sure that the animal chosen for training is random (as it states in the article). At a new fortress, I had three dogs, two male and one female (who had several puppies following her). I wanted to train one of the male dogs as a war dog, and tried several times (3 or 4 at least, and by creating a Train War Animal order then cancelling it if I got the female) to get one of the male dogs to the kennels with my Animal Trainer, to no luck – the female came every time, trailed by a string of puppies. She was, not incidentally I suspect, the first dog (and animal) listed in the "Status/Animals" screen, and I tried both to make her available for adoption and slaughter in the hope that it would remove her from availability for training (no luck). Finally I did have luck when I looked at this page and saw that caged/chained animals would not be trained – I put her in a spare cage I had and successfully trained one of the male dogs. | :::I'm not sure that the animal chosen for training is random (as it states in the article).

:::Of course, this doesn't completely discredit that the animal chosen is random, but if my probability calculation is right, there is less than a 4% chance that of three possible animals, the same one would be chosen three times in a row. But my thinking right now is that the first animal in the Status/Animals list that is valid for a type of training will be the one picked.--[[User:Scrotch|Scrotch]] 19:10, 30 October 2010 (UTC) | :::Of course, this doesn't completely discredit that the animal chosen is random, but if my probability calculation is right, there is less than a 4% chance that of three possible animals, the same one would be chosen three times in a row.
