To do this trick, make sure you have an Asscessory on you. Select which dog you want to walk with. While planning the route for the dog, go through as many[?] blocks as possible. Once you have done that, make your way to the park, then back to your house. When your dog starts the walk, when it gets to the park change the accessory it's wearing into something else. After the game finishes saving, turn off your Nintendo DS. When you reboot you will notice that you have obtained all the items you did in the walk, and you can walk again with the same dog without the wait. Do this for present abuse! Dog or present? When walking your dog, if he/she comes upon a ? mark, he/she will bark once, or twice. Most of the time, one bark means a present, two barks means another dog. Easy way to find hidden presents When going on a walk, watch the top screen. When the dog icon stops moving, there is a hidden present coming up shortly. Be cautious, however, as this is also true when garbage is coming up, or your pup simply stops by itself. Get unlockable breeds easier. Do Bark Mode with a dog in a breed that you don't have.Example: Do Bark Mode with a Shih Tzu and after you do Bark Mode with that dog, you will be able to buy the Shih Tzu breed at the kennel.NOTE: This only works the first time with each different version of the game. So you can do this trick one time with Labrador & Friends, Dachshund & Friends, and any other version of Nintendogs. Linking: When linking copies of Nintendogs to unlock new breeds, keep in mind two things. You can only link with another Nintendo DS system once (and unlock a new breed). The breed unlocked corresponds with your partner's current pet, and it must be a breed that you do not have in order for it to be unlocked. RC helicopter: Go on a walk and you may find an RC helicopter as one of the question marks. Hold A to take off, the D-Pad to maneuver, and L to change the camera view. Note: They can be sold for $200. Agility training: Go to the gymnasium and train your dog on the agility course. It changes with each contest you win. Disc contest: Get a Boxer if you want speed. Get a German Shepherd if you want it to jump high. Blue circles on the map: While on walks, blue circles represent places to go to the bathroom. Longer walks: Mark out the path on your map, ending it at the house. If your last few steps ends at the house, wait 25 minutes, then your dog can go slighter further on the next walk. Note: Make sure to water your dog after each walk. Different colored Dogs: While at the pound, pick a breed. You will have three choices for the dog's coloring *light, medium, and dark). If you do not see the color you like, tap "Back", then tap on the breed again until the color and/or gender that you want with the dog appears. It may take some time to actually get what you want. Hand stand: Teach your dog to lie down and beg. While lying down, tell it to beg and your dog should do a handstand. Flip from back: Teach your dog roll over and jump. Tell it to roll over then quickly have it jump. It should flip forward onto its legs, with something that resembles a Kung Fu-style move. Getting money: Go on a lot of walks, getting as many question marks as you can along the way. Then, go to the second hand store and sell all the items you do not want or your dog(s) do not like. Some items are less then a dollar, but the amount adds up if you keep doing this. Losing contests: In certain classes of contests, if you get below a certain score you will drop a class. Walking your dog: When walking your dog and it seems edgy, give the leash a little tug towards the way it is walking. The dog will start running. Also, if you want you can give it a tug while running upwards, it will do a jump. Free Gifts and Toys While you can purchase new toys for your pup to play with, you can actually get some goodies for free if you know where to look. When you take your Nintendog on a walk, outline a path that goes by the blue "?" boxes marked on the map. Your puppy is likely to run off screen at those points and come back with a present for you! Your puppy will also randomly run to get presents for you if you leave the game on the "Home" screen for long. If left unattended, your Nintendog will leave the apartment and stay off screen. Simply tap on the center button (the circular one) to whistle and call back your pup who should be carrying a new present. Unlockable Rooms These appear for sale at the Interior Decorator once you've aquired the specified amount of points. Desktop - Get 6000 Trainer Points Beach House - 12,000 Trainer Points Eating bone and lightbulb When training your dog occasionally an outline of a bone will appear on the screen, you can feed this to your dog by dragging it to its mouth, you can do the same with the light bulbs that appear above your dogs head when your teaching them new tricks. Easy Trainer Points Go to the screen where you can brush your dog. Take the brush and put it on him. Leave it there for a few hours. As long as the brush is on him, you get trainer points for every 1 minute. Leave on overnight and you will have a ton of Trainer Points and most likely a new dog at the kennel!… Expand

   This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A simple and fun dog sim. in this game you look after a virtual puppy (that never grows up). you can feed it,walk it,dress it up, bath and groom it,buy food,clothes,etc,. You can only keep three dogs at a time and if you want more you have to drop off/donate/swap a dog at the Dog Hotel. To earn money you enter your dog in three different types of competitions(disc,agility and obedience) that get more harder depending on the class (beginner is easiest, championship is hardest). You can also walk your dog and teach it tricks (at home). No matter what version of the game you get (Labrador,chihuahua,dalmation and daschund) the game is the same and you can get all the breeds (you unlock them by trainer points you earn by caring for your dog) and items. The game is fun and very cute and is recomended if you love dogs and is looking for a cute game.

   You either really get it, or you really don't. Count me among the latter. It's interesting for the first 10 minutes, as it REALLY is a fantastic demo of the DS' capabilities, but you can literally see pretty much everything the game has to offer in those 10 minutes. I lived thru the tamogotchi craze 10 years ago, and all this is is a spruced up take on that. Yawn. People who talk about how 'attached' they become to their 'dogs' scare me a little...… Expand
