Got mine tonight.  I can verify that the sequence of interaction is the same as listed on main info page.  Split the running around to 2 days.  Will be a lot easier to do once we get flying ability.  Reminds me of running around to get Alpaca mount in Uldum.

I split up this hunt over a couple of days which may be helpful if you get tired of looking in one session. I found the playful vulpin twice near Renard's den but not twice in a row. The comments on Wowhead are very helpful for coordinates and suggestions.

Finally found him. Started interacting with him. Tabbed out to see what to respond with after he started digging. When I came back and typed in /curious, it said "You startle the Playful Vulpin". He fainted and despawned.

 

/cry

 

Update - I did not realize that you can only interact with him once per encounter. So that was normal. Thought I had killed him. But you have to find him 5 times to catch him.

Dodger is a bit small relative to other vulpin, but is excellent at playing hide and seek.
