Editing 40d:Kennel

A '''Kennel''' is like a large 5X5 [[workshop]] type building for an [[animal trainer]]. The animal trainer uses it to tame wild [[creatures|animals]] not already domesticated, such as [[wolf|wolves]] and [[tiger]]s you have [[trap]]ped.  Similarly the Kennel can be used to tame small [[vermin]] caught in [[animal trap]]s, so that [[dwarf|dwarves]] may adopt them. It also serves to train tamed animals into [[hunting]] and war animals (usually [[dog]]s). 

Hunting animals can be assigned 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.

A war animal is a powerful fighter. War dogs make excellent companions when starting a fortress, when you can't spare many dwarves for fighting. 


To build a kennel you need one building material ([[wood]], [[stone]], [[metal]] [[bar]]) and a dwarf who has [[animal training]], [[small animal dissection]] and/or [[trapping]] [[skills]] enabled.

-''(Note that the '''[[labor]]''' associated with the [[skill]] "[[small animal dissection]]" (namely "Extract from a dead animal") is used solely at a [[butcher's shop]].  But that '''skill''' is one of the three that can build a kennel, and is listed as such.  Just accept it.)''
+A war animal is a powerful fighter. War dogs make excellent companions when starting a fortress, when you can't spare many dwarves for fighting.
-Training dogs 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.
-===Kennel Tasks===
+To build a kennel you need one building material ([[wood]], [[stone]], [[metal]] [[bar]]) and a dwarf who has [[animal training]], [[small animal dissection]] and/or [[trapping]] [[skills]] enabled.
-====Train a Hunting Dog====
-Requires: [[Cage|Uncaged]] [[Dog|stray dog]] and an [[Animal trainer]].
-Hunting animals can be assigned ({{K|v}}-select dwarf-{{K|p}}-{{K|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.
-====Train a War Dog====
-Requires: [[Cage|Uncaged]] [[Dog|stray dog]] and an [[Animal trainer]].
-A war animal is a powerful fighter. [[War dog]]s make excellent companions when starting a fortress, when you can't spare many dwarves for fighting.
-====Capture a Live Land Animal====
-Requires: [[Animal trap]] and a [[Trapper]].
-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 [[stockpile]]. Vermin caught through this job can be eaten or transferred to cages; they can be tamed now.
-====Tame a Small Animal====
-Requires: An [[Animal trainer]] and trapped vermin.
-This is used to tame vermin for adoption as pets.
-====Tame a Large Animal====
-Requires: [[Cage trap|Caged wild animal]], an appropriate piece of [[food]], and an [[Animal trainer]].
-The animal trainer uses it to tame wild [[creatures|animals]] not already domesticated, such as [[wolf|wolves]] and [[tiger]]s that have been caught in cage traps.
