How would you like to set up a trap bait it then possible catch an animal in it that you can eventually tame, train and make your companion?
If i get some help for this mod idea this might become a reality!

Yeah, that pretty much was what I did with my latest cat. Except for the whole 'tame, train and make your companion' part, cats know better than to obey me...

There are already countless mods adding every kind of animal companion, but of course they often dismiss the whole taiming part, and the animal starts either already knowing all the tricks, or at most you can teach him some new things as you go along, but I can't recall any mod doing even that.

http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=26143 is my favorite. It uses an already existing but overlooked pet from the game and turns him into a really useful sidekick. Just look at his lovely empty eye sockets, isn't he adorable? And being undead he never eats, sleep, feel pain, he doesn't even need to breath! I would kill for a dog like that

Look at the mod Shadow Ranger. It includes a very in-depth and well-done animal companion that you train several skills to over time.

thanks
