You have to find Playful Vulpin five times and emote at him!

Target Macro with skull marker/target Playful Vulpin
/run SetRaidTarget("target", 8)

He is generally found near other Vulpins. Map locations where we've found him
For TomTom Users:
/way 31.85 43.63
/way 31.76 41.00
/way 32.60 42.92
/way 34.10 45.00
/way 50.21 53.53
/way 41.31 28.74

/way 70.14 30.04
/way 65.22 22.65
/way 67.55 31.91
/way 72.39 31.46

1: "Playful Vulpin begins to dig curiously." Use /curious - "You startle the Playful Vulpin."
2: "Playful Vulpin wanders around unable to sit still." Use /sit - "The Playful Vulpin looks at you with curiousity."
3: "Playful Vulpin sings all alone." Use /sing - "The Playful Vulpin sings with you."
4: "Playful Vulpin dances with joy." Use /dance - "The Playful Vulpin dances with you in excitement."
5: "Playful Vulpin sits down lonely and sad." Use /pet - "The Playful Vulpin joyfully leaps into your arms." You get Dodger

Comment by Lazey

I found him in the north-eastern part of Ardenweald 4x times, but then had to go far west for the last emote. I really dislike that... they should add enough locations and only choose close ones for the follow-up appearances. Sending players over the whole map (I guess there is a chance for that) after spotting the Playful Vulpin and doing the first emote is not really nice.

Are you using a different character to search for locations or is the Playful Vulpin still visible for the one who already got the pet?
If your most northern spot was not inside the "cave" you could also add 40.71 27.42 But usually a target macro should cover both.

Dodger is a part of Treasures of Ardenweald achievement.
To get it you have to find Playful Vulpins in Ardenweald,
it will make an action on which you'll have to reply with emote in chat.
After each successful interaction it will despawn and you'll have to find him again
until you make him your pet (Dodger) - 5 times in total.
To find Playful Vulpin you have to search around the critters of the same type,
it spawns near Vulpins in the Ardenweald: Timber Kit, Verdant Kit,
Child of Mischief, Grove Kit, Glimmerfur Kit, Ridge Kit...
To make it easier make a macros:
/tar Playful Vulpin
/run SetRaidTarget("target", 1)

Vulpin locations i found running around Ardenweald:

Comment by Boxofbeer

Playful Vulpin can be got by locating Playful Vulpin in Bastion.

Location: Multiple
Rare Item : Dodger
Criteria of: Treasures of Ardenweald

General:

Progress you do with the mob doesnt reset if you get disconnect.
Progress you do with the mob doesnt reset if you exit the game manually.
Progress you do with the mob will be kept for a while - at least for few days but might be for longer (even forever).

Needs some one to confirm if the mob you see can be seen by another player as well and if yes does the mob act the same for both players or different depending on player's progress with it.

This is a very tricky one to obtain. You shoul find Playful Vulpin five times in Ardenweald and react to its emotions.
The trouble is it has no fixed respawn spot and respawns at random spot near different vulpins.
When you found it - check which action it does and reply by typing into chat correct one.
After that it will despawn and you have to check respawn spots again until you found it five times in total.
It seems it makes his actions in fixed order, so it has to be in the following:

Playful Vulpin begins to dig curiously - type /curious
Playful Vulpin wanders around unable to sit still - type /sit
Playful Vulpin sings all alone - type /sing
Playful Vulpin dances with joy - type /dance
Playful Vulpin sits down lonely and sad - type /pet

Use macro to track it - marks a mob, sends message into the chat and runs sound play.

/cleartarget
/tar Playful Vulpin
/cleartarget
/stopmacro
/run PlaySound(12867); SetRaidTarget("target", 01); print(date().." "..UnitName("target"));

TomTom coordinates: (Was there for me)

/way 31.93 43.54 Possible respawn spot
/way 51.57 54.97 Possible respawn spot
/way 32.74 42.96 Possible respawn spot
/way 41.03 50.95 Possible respawn spot
/way 40.95 51.53 Possible respawn spot

Named after content creator and Twitch streamer Dodger aka Dexbonus. The fox is kind of a mascot of hers.
She also voiced the character Penny Fox in the game Awesomenauts.

Thank You i Hope that Help You

When you find Dodger "wandering around unable to sit still" be sure you're next to him when you use /sit. It is a very close distance trigger to get him to recognize your /sit.

Comment by Tig3rE

Zone: Ardenweald
Treasures of Revendreth --> Playful Vulpin Befriended

Playful Vulpin Befriended is part of the achievement Treasures of Revendreth. To be able to complete this, a Playful Vulpin must be found in the Ardenweald. You have to perform 5 different interactions with him. The problem is, he disappears after each emotion and you have to search for him again.

It's best to make a macro, that makes the search easier:
/cleartarget
/tar Playful Vulpin
Here are the actions that need to be performed: for example, if the chat says Playful Vulpin begins to dig curiously, then type into the chat /curious or use the related emote.
1. - begins to dig curiously = /curious
2. - wanders around unable to sit still = /sit
3. - sings all alone = /sing
4. - dances with joy = /dance
5. - sits down lonely and sad = /pet
One other little note:
- keep Playful Vulpin in focus when doing the emote.
- It is best to dismount from the mount. But for me it also worked when I was sitting on the mount.

After the last action the playful Vulpin jumps into your arms and you get the Dodger = Dodger.

Here are some spawn points:
/way 34.11 44.88
/way 40.71 27.46
/way 41.23 28.77
/way 50.70 55.10
/way 51.00 54.00
/way 51.20 55.10
/way 67.53 31.89
/way 69.05 30.31
/way 70.31 29.64
/way 72.41 31.56

I show you the way to some locations in this Video: https://youtu.be/W8KIKu9Rm-k

Comment by RolandAllen

You don't need to hurry between the steps. Once you get the credit for one of the emotes, you can continue later: I found him two times before I went to raid and I continued the pursuit on the next morning without a problem.

Comment by Kaninchen5

i found him at /way 40.03 28.75 near Rascal. I used /tar Playful Vulpin
/run SetRaidTarget("target", 1) while running around way point to waypoint.

Comment by caroleen

The Wowhead map for Playful Vulpin seems to cover all the possible spawn points.

Post on another forum indicates a character can only get Dodger once but this isn't account-wide, alts can still get him too and they don't have to be level 60.

Comment by Crucru74

Can Dodger be caged once won?

Comment by therealtrogdor

Pulling information from existing helpful comments (thanks to all those who found this info), here are the macros I used to quickly pick up my very own Dodger.

First, a macro to put the most relevant TomTom waypoints on the map for possible locations of the Playful Vulpin.
/way 72.4 31.6
/way 70.2 29.6
/way 67.6 31.8
/way 67.2 29.0
/way 65.2 22.8
/way 42.0 27.4
/way 40.2 28.6
/way 31.8 41.0
/way 31.8 43.6
/way 34.0 45.0
/way 41.4 49.8
/way 41.0 51.6
/way 50.2 53.6
/way 51.2 55.0

Second, a macro which targets Playful Vulpin, plays a bell sound to notify you that it is close, and ~PERFORMS THE CORRECT EMOTE~ based on your current progress. Just make sure you get close enough to it when you spam this macro so that it responds to your emote.
/cleartarget
/tar Playf
/cleartarget
/stopmacro
/script PlaySound(5274);n={0,1,4,5,6};e={'curious','sit','sing','dance','pet'};d=1;for i=1,5 do if not C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(n+61080) and d then DoEmote(e);d=nil;end;end;

Lastly, in case you forgot which of your characters completed this already, the "progress printing macro". This will tell you if your toon can find a new Dodger.
/script print("Dodger steps completed:");c="Complete";n={0,1,4,5,6};e={'curious','sit','sing','dance','pet'};for i=1,5 do print("/"..e,":",C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(n+61080) and "\124cff00ff00" or "\124cffff0000Not",c);end;

The last macro will print out something like this
-----------------------------------
Dodger steps completed:
/curious: Complete
/sit: Complete
/sing: Not Complete
/dance: Not Complete
/pet: Not Complete
