"Total Knowledge"
Something I've noticed is many new players think "Total Potential" is all that matters, and they breed a dog with 0% training and get bad pups and usually are very disappointed. I'm suggesting a little bar somewhere on the dog's page that says the dog's total knowledge, not just a percentage on how much training they've had. I think this would clear up a lot of the confusion on TP and the dog's worth. Any additional suggestions are more than welcome :3

TP is the Total <i>Potential</i> a dog can obtain with training; how effective it could be in the field. With out the training, the dog is worthless. Not many new players understand that and are still confused by the Help section on this. Hence, they get upset when they breed a high TP dog with no training and get low TP pups.

There's already a "training completed" on the dog's page that shows how much percent it's been trained. I do like the idea of a graphic bar that can "fill up" as you train, but as it is it's not a neccessity since we already have indicators for how much training a dog has experienced.

I don't really understand this. Isn't this what TP is?

That could work. <br /> <br /> But at the same time, it specifically says in the Help section what a maxed stat looks like and how to train a dog. Plus, I do know that as a newbie helper, I was telling users what it means when their dog is maxed. Maybe just giving them a simple equation to find out how much of their dog is trained to be placed in the user guide, this way to avoid too much coding..?

That's already been suggested and I don't like that idea, Taylor. Some players will only half max or partially train a TP monster and breed to a lower TP dog for average TP pups; making manditory maxing is unfair for them and unrealistic; may people in real life don't train their dogs in any specific thing, just breed for a puppy or two (not the best thing to do, but it is done)

I think we should also have that, but in the trails, there should be a rule where there's a specific amount of TP the should has to have in order to enter that specific trial.
