Easier training:
----------------
While teaching your dog to sit, do not say sit down , just say sit .
By doing this, when you teach it lay down , it will not get confused.
When teaching it to shake, do not say shake . Instead, say shake hands .
By doing this, it will not get sit confused with shake.
Easy items:
-----------
Take your dog for a walk and make sure you have another accessory to change
into. Try to go in as many ? boxes as possible before you go to the park.
As soon as you put the line into the park, go directly home. Go through your
walk as normal, getting items, meeting dogs, etc., until you reach the park.
Once you get to the park, go directly to Accessories . Change your dogs
accessories immediately, then tap Back . The message Saving: Don't
Turn Off Power should appear. After it is done saving, turn off the power.
Turn it back on, and you will still have all the items collected, and can
go for another walk. Note: You will not get owner points for this. Also,
your dog's stamina will not increase.
Easy owner points:
------------------
Play with a disc, ball, etc. Each time your dog gets it, call it over (or
tap the screen a few times.). When he or she comes, pet it on the head for
a few seconds. He or she should sparkle, giving you one or two owner points.
This also makes it easier to get the toy back and repeat.
Finding items:
--------------
While walking on the sidewalk, tap the floor and your dog will look and
sometimes find an item. Also while walking your dog, there will be a question
mark on almost every walk that is not illustrated on the map. When you see
it on the touch screen take your dogs leash and drag your dog to the present.
It will be a present or garbage that your dog should not eat.
Agility training:

Go to the gymnasium and train your dog on the agility course; it will change
with each competition won.

off before the competition ends to avoid ranking loss. Note: Whenever this is
done, the leader's score will change.

interior decorator.
Determining ? box content:
----------------------------
When you find a ? box during a walk, if you dog barks once it is a present;
if it barks twice, it is another dog. Additionally, if you find a present wait
until the dog runs off the screen. If it turns white, it will be a trainer. If
it does not, it is a present.
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. Note: It may take some time to actually get
what you want.
Disc competitions:
------------------
Get a Boxer if you want speed. Get a German Shepherd if you want it to jump high.
Disc training:
--------------
Go to the park, and keep training your dog until you get a message. Use a
frisbee, tennis ball, rubber bone, or stick to train it. When playing fetch
with your dog, after you throw a frisbee, tennis ball, rubber bone, or stick
in the park or homeplace, to retrieve the item tap the screen at least five
times to get their attention. Then, play a tug-o-war until you have it again.
Dog hang:
---------
Get the pull rope, then take it out. Wait for your dog to bite it. If you
quickly slide the rope up while it is biting, one of two things will happen.
It will either let go, or the camera will go above the dog, and it is hanging
on the rope. To stop, let go of the rope or swing the rope around until the
dog loses its grip and goes flying.
Flip from back:
---------------
Teach your dog to 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 and get as many question marks as possible along the way.
Then, go to the second hand store and sell all the items you do not want or
your dog(s) you do not like. Some items are less then a dollar, but the amount
adds up if you continue doing this. Additionally, when going out for walks, it
is best to feed and give your dog water just before you go (if it's hungry or
thirsty). By doing this, instead of your dog finding trash, they will be much
more likely to find presents. You will see a white box with red ribbons around
it. Try walking slow because you cannot go backwards. Touch it with the stylus.
Your dog will bring it to you. These items are the ones that are worth more.
The tri-color ribbon is worth ten dollars, and the Moai Statue is worth one
hundred dollars.

dog should do a handstand.

Linking to unlock new breeds:
-----------------------------
When linking copies of Nintendogs to unlock new breeds, remember 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.
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 give your dog water after each walk.
