I can't seem to make a simple dog follower and I am a experienced

[KnightRangersGuild]

I can make any follower no problem, but for some strange reason I can't get my very simple dog follower to work! This is really bothering me since I THOUGHT I knew the CK very well, but I just cant figure this one out.

 

I'm pretty sure it has to do with "Packages" but I should have all them right. The funny thing is when I edit the vanilla dogs it works fine, but my GOAL is to make one from scratch using just vanilla meshes and textures at first, so I need to get the "following" thing done first. Please help, I scanned Google and ALL the forums and there is nothing on creating a DOG follower??????

 

It's got to be something simple.

Try making a duplicate dog race with duplicate packages and ect and all attachments it should be exactly like the dog except the name, then make it a follower.

 

If you can make the dogs be followers then you should be able to handle this, then place it somewhere or spawn it in game or color it purple I dont care...thats not what you asked for.

I'm pretty new to modding Skyrim, but this is what I did and it seems to work. I made a duplicate of the stray dog, then set the faction as playerpotentialanimal. There is no dialogue, but when activated the dog will follow.
