Is there a way to summon Dogmeat to you?

I've recently started playing Fallout 4, and I've acquired Dogmeat. Long story short, I told him to stay in a small building so I could down a few raiders quietly but I forgot about him and I can't find him. Is there a way to call Dogmeat back or do I have to retrace my steps until I'm reunited with him?

You can ask another companion to join you, at which point you should have an option to tell dogmeat to go back to one of your bases.

If you are playing on the PC, you can move him to you. I had to do this once because he clipped in a wall and never came with me when I fast traveled away.

You can do it by following these steps.

Open up the Console by typing Tilde (~)

Type 'prid 0001d162'

Hit Return/Enter

Type 'moveto player'

Hit Return/Enter

Hit Tilde (~) again to close the console

Dogmeat will shoot to you like he is being magically summoned and be next to you!

Travel the Commonwealth with your Dogmeat
