I've got the worst luck with dogs in these games. In Fallout 1, I never could get Dogmeat to follow me beyond his original little area of Junktown, and now, for the second game in a row, I can't figure out how to activate K-9 at the Navarro base.
I've got the motivator, but I can't see how to use it on the dog. I've tried quickslotting it and then using it with the little yellow target, and I've tried using it on him with the little, um, you know, you hold down the left mouse button and then choose the hand icon and you can choose something from your inventory to use on the target. I've also tried using my science and repair skills on him, and even planting the motivator on him with the steal skill. No luck.
I'm out of ideas. Could somebody please tell me what glaringly obvious thing I'm missing here?
