Name your dog with a name tag and build it a cosy bed corner.

  • New skill Using an anvil to write on a name tag
  • Level 1 · The Village
  • Difficulty Beginner
  • Mode Creative
  • Time 25–35 min
  • Ages 13+

What you’ll build

Make your dog's name official. You'll place an anvil, type the name onto a name tag and give it to your dog so the name floats above its head. Then you build a cosy bed corner with carpets and decorations so it has a favourite spot.

Finish line: Your dog's name floats above its head and it has its own cosy bed corner.

Bonus challenge: Make a little sign with your dog's name and place it by the dog house.

You’ll need

  • Name tag
  • Anvil
  • Carpets
  • Decorations
  • Your tamed dog

You choose

  • My dog's exact name and spelling
  • Where the bed corner goes
  • Bed colour and decorations

Stuck?

  • Check the spelling before you take the tag out of the anvil. Once it's on your dog, you'd need a new tag to change it.
  • No name showing? Look straight at your dog up close. The name appears when you point at it.
  • Tap the dog while holding the tag. If it sits or stands instead, check the tag is in your hand.
