How to call a dog in Fallout 4? - in detail
To call a dog in Fallout 4, you need to follow several steps. Firstly, ensure that you have completed the quest "Reunions" and that Dogmeat is not currently following another companion. If Dogmeat is already with someone else, you will need to wait until he leaves their side or dismiss them manually.
Once Dogmeat is available, open your Pip-Boy by pressing the corresponding button on your controller or keyboard. Navigate to the "Companions" section and select Dogmeat from the list of available companions. You can also use the console command player.placeatme 0001D472 if you prefer a quicker method, though this is considered cheating by some players.
After selecting Dogmeat, he will teleport to your location and start following you. If you want to make sure that Dogmeat stays with you permanently, you can build the Doghouse at Sanctuary Hills. This structure provides a place for Dogmeat to rest and ensures that he remains your loyal companion throughout your adventures in Fallout 4.
