Something is Wrong With My Dog controls and crafting in one place — with a clear line between what the developer publishes and what the community has pieced together. The full control list is official; the crafting specifics are not, and we say exactly where that line sits.
The Official Controls
The developer publishes the control scheme on the game page itself:
| Input | Official Action | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| WASD | Move | Classic block-game movement |
| E | Open inventory | Your pack and held items |
| M | Open the map | This is Bob’s map — see Bob's Map Locations |
| Left Click | Mine, break blocks, attack | Your gather-and-fight button |
| Right Click | Place blocks, build, feed Jerry | Your build-and-befriend button |
That is the complete official list. Five inputs run the whole game — the depth is in the systems they touch, not the keybinds.
Inventory and the Map
E opens your inventory, where bones, tools, and gathered materials live. Keep bones accessible at all times — taming Jerry needs three of them fed via right click, and keeping him fed afterward is good practice (details in How to Tame Jerry).
M opens Bob’s map. It is both your navigation tool and a story artifact — the cabin, grave, and log markers on it are the spine of the campaign.
Building and Crafting
- Official: right click places blocks; building a camp and surviving to daylight is a core loop; a bed is part of that camp (sleeping in your own bed earns the Sweet Dreams badge).
- Not officially documented: exact crafting recipes, block costs, and tool tiers. Community runs describe the standard flow — gather timber and stone by day, enclose a shelter, add a bed — but any specific recipe list you find elsewhere is player research, not developer documentation.
The practical build order that community survival runs converge on: walls first, then a door, then a bed, then storage — expanding one room per day. The Survival Mode Guide turns that into a full routine.
Controller and Mobile Support
Roblox as a platform runs on PC, mobile, Xbox, and PlayStation, with automatic controller and touch mappings for most experiences. For this game specifically, the developer only documents the keyboard scheme above — controller and mobile layouts are not officially listed. Community players do report playing on non-PC setups, but treat button mappings there as platform defaults rather than documented design.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the controls for Something is Wrong With My Dog?
Officially: WASD to move, E for inventory, M for the map, left click to mine/attack, and right click to place blocks and feed Jerry. That is the complete published list.
Is there a crafting table or recipe list?
Nothing official. Building works by placing blocks with right click, and a bed is part of your camp, but exact recipes and costs are not documented by the developer — community guides (including the build order above) are player research.
How do you feed Jerry?
Equip bones and use the official right-click interaction on Jerry. Three bones tames him for the Good Boy badge — the full sequence is in
