Dog Treats = More Bonding 💕

[vernal sigil]

I personally feel like the current dog biscuit is to expensive for as little bonding you get when giving your pup a treat.
My thoughts are to make the current biscuits cheaper or come out with a new treat that better at keeping bonding level up. This could be such as salmon jerky treat. That gives your dog golden hearts, making your bonding last longer.

Maybe even some pork soup bone treats. That you can craft at your tent or outpost. Make hunting hogs more fun. Same could be said about the salmon treats, maybe putting in that fishing mini game that was talked about on Jaxy's stream.

More bonding in general also. The bonding goes away so fast, it's not even fun to use the dog.

more bond per treat ❌
keeping the dog behind a barrier for more bond ✅

The praise mechanic the devs put in does help but like you all said goes away so fast.

i dont keep its bond up and it works fine for me

[small crystal]

Mine ignores commands and acts stupid when the bond isn't up

Maybe just an Xbox thing?

Mine are the same with all three dogs. If the bond is low they are on vacation.

dogs won't protect you if you have no bond it can mean the difference between a tiger ambush and the dog pointing it out in time for a shot
