How to Pet a Dog in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla

Petting a dog in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is easy enough to do, so long as you’re in the right location; namely, any spot with some dogs to show some love to.

You can find dogs in most inhabited and friendly areas. Case in point: Your settlement will have several you can find and get close to, with the dogs usually responding to your proximity with a bark or even walking up close to you.

When this occurs, simply press the Triangle Button on PlayStation 4 or the Y button on the Xbox One. This will make your character give them a few pets. The dogs will show their gratitude with further barks and will follow you around the settlement for a bit.
