There have been a few reports of dogs no longer responding to commands. This is caused by a script that stops running in the dog. We are working on minimizing this problem, but in the meantime, there are a couple of easy ways to get your dog responding again.

1. Update your dog. At the front door of our store in Kuula, we have a D&D Dog Upgrader. simply touch it to receive an updater object. Then rez the updater next to your dog and touch it. In many cases, an upgrade will get your dog responding again. This is OK to do if you already have the latest version. The upgrade process refreshes all scripts in the dog, resetting the dead one. :)

2. Recompile Scripts. If the upgrade doesn't fix your dog, try this. Right-click your dog and select EDIT. Then, at the top of your screen in the SL menu, select TOOLS-->RECOMPILE SCRIPTS IN SELECTION. This may take a minute to finish, but should get your dog back on its feet!

If you are still having problems, feel free to IM me or Darrly Chang and we will try to help you as soon as possible.

For a sec I thought this referred to neutering. :)

Ah, Driftwood, I remember when my Dad (Torley Sr. ;) ) first came to SL, and you showed off your Stargate and an early version of the D&D Dogs. Actually, before I ever was in SL, when I was reading informative sites to learn more, I saw your work here:
