Closing [A0017] ============= 1. FAQ [A001] ============= Note: These questions are just made up by me, but you're free to submit questions, and if they get asked 10 times I'll add them. Q: Which version should I get? A: Ahh, this is a common question. It all depends of the kind of dogs you want to start out with. Right now, I only have Lab, so I don't know the starting dogs on the other versions. Q: How do I increase my chances of getting rare items? A: There are rumors, such as wearing a Lucky Collar or using a Clover Clock. However, it is completely random. Q: Can my dog breed? A: No, all Nintendogs are puppies, therefore cannot breed. However, a rumor has been going around that unlocking EVERYTHING (all items, dogs, 1st place in every contest; championship) will allow your puppies to breed...despite the fact that they're puppies. But I do not believe this rumor. Q: Will my dog live forever? A: Yes! All Nintendogs are permanently stuck in the puppy stage of life. Q: I sent you that information for the guide! How come I'm not in the credits? A: Someone beat you to telling me this info, and I couldn't reply to you. ================== 2. Starting [A002] ================== -Getting a Dog- [A002a] So, you're walking up to the kennel and it asks you to knock. Just tap the door a few times. You'll then enter the kennel and have two options: Buy and look. Look lets you do just that: Look at and interact with dogs. Buy is obvious. Each version has a different list of starting dogs, but I only know the Lab lists. E-mail me with other lists please! Lab and Friends Labrador (dur...) Description: Originating in England, this breed is highly intelligent, kind in nature, and great as assistance dogs. Miniature Pinscher Description: This German breed has a very appealing build and gait. Toy Poodle Description: French in origin, poodles are highly intelligent and physically capable. They make excellent show dogs. Miniature Schnauzer Description: Originating in Germany, this breed carries itself with dignity. Its beard and eyebrows define the breed. Pembroke Welsh Corgi Description: This sheepdog hails from Britain and is beloved by English royalty. It has stamina on par with larger breeds. Shiba Inu Description: A breed originating in Japan, its small, muscular body and curly tail are its best features. Chihuahua and Friends (Thanks to Ashley [ashleymiller123@yahoo.com]) Chihuahua German Shepherd Boxer Cavilier King Charles Spaniel Yorkshire Terrier Shetland Sheepdog Dachshund and Friends (Thanks to Ashley) Dachshund Beagle Siberian Husky Pug Shih Tzu Golden Retriever Now that you've picked your dog, it's time to take it home. Since this is a new home, pet it and let it sniff around so it gets accustomed. After awhile, your dog will adjust (that was quick). Now it's time to... -Name Your Pup- [A002b] You'll now be prompted to name your pup. Two of the MOST IMPORTANT rules: Speak clearly. You don't want to sound scratchy, like "fzzzzsitzzzz" You want a clear "sit." Use the same intonation each time. Obviously, a sharp "sit" is a lot different from wailing "SIIIIIIIIIIIIT" like you're about to die. Soon, sparkles will fly everywhere and a little jingle will play. Your dog now has a name! Now that he has a name, the game will take you to... -The First Trick- [A002c] It's time for your dog to learn a trick, and why not start off small? The game will take you through teaching the sit trick. After a while, the sparkles will fly and that same jingle will play. Your dog knows its first trick! Now the game will suddenly stop helping you and you'll have to find stuff out for yourself. Now's when I come in! =================== 3. The Menus [A003] =================== Nintendogs has four menus. They are: -The Home Menu- [A003a] This menu has your dog(s) status, a large button with a dog face and a hand, and buttons for the save, supplies, and going out. Here is what those buttons do: Your dog's status menu is viewed by clicking on its name below its picture. By clicking on its picture, the camera will zoom to the dog you chose. The large middle button is used to call your dog so you can interact with it. The supplies list button brings up...your supplies list. The go out button brings up a menu of what you can go out and do (more on that later.) The save button is obvious. -The Supplies List- [A003b] The supplies list is yet divided into seven categories: Sports Toys Accessories Care Music Clock Etc. The sports list holds Flying Disks, Bones, Balls, Blocks, and a few other odd items. The toys list holds Karts, RC Copters, the Bubble Blower, Jump Rope, Balloons, the Pull Rope,the Model Shuttle, Talking Bird, and Windup Toy. Accessories list holds collars, ribbons, hats, and pairs of glasses ^_^. Care list holds everything you'll need to care for your dog (food, water, shampoo, and help books). Music list holds your records, music boxes, and keyboards. Clocks list holds your clocks. Etc. list holds everything from worthless tissue boxes to 99.9% pure gold bars. You can throw the stuff at your dog, but you wouldn't do that, right? Heh heh... -Status List- [A003c] This shows your dogs' name, breed, trainer, time together, cleanliness, hunger, thirst, and the last thing eaten. There are two more menus that can be viewed from here: The Trick List, and the Contest results. The Trick List shows the current tricks your dog knows. Contest Results shows the three types of contests, what rank your dog is in in each, and how it placed in each. -The Go Out Menu- [A003d] This menu has four options; all involve leaving your house. They are: -Bark Mode- This is where you and a friend can have your dogs interact and exchange items (very useful for version exclusives). -Shopping- There are five different shops: The Supply Shop, the Secondhand Shop, the Kennel, the Interior Decorator, and the Dog Hotel. The Supply Shop lets you buy whatever you need for your dog(s). The Secondhand Shop lets you sell stuff you don't need. The Kennel is where you buy your dogs. The Interior decorator lets you change the look of your house. The Dog Hotel lets you keep up to 5 dogs in a hotel, or Donate a Dog (which is really just a nice way of saying, get rid of a dog). -Contests- There are certain contests your dogs can participate in, see section 8. -Walking- You can take your dog for walks, see section 7. -Info- This shows your information throughout the game. They include: Trainer Info, Friend List, Trainer Accomplishments, and System Settings. Trainer Info shows your name, birthday comments (message), Trainer Points, and the dogs you have at home. Friend List is a list of everyone you met in Bark Mode. Trainer Accomplishments shows the contests, what rank you're at, what dog first got to that rank, and how they placed. System Settings shows the Battery Save Settings (don't know what this does); the Mic Sensitivity, whether or not you want the clock displayed, and you can toggle your Pictochat search settings. ============================= 4. Caring For Your Pup [A004] ============================= -Feeding- [A004a] Feeding is very easy in this game. You simply open the Supplies List, open the Care list, and click on your food. There are two types of food: Dry food (not very good), Dog Food Can (Nice, healthy food). To know how hungry your dog is, open the status menu and look at hunger. This is the amount of hunger, least hungry to most hungry: Full -> Normal -> Hungry -> Famished If your dog is Hungry, FEED IT! Do not wait until it's Famished. -Drinking- [A004b] Drinking is also easy. Open the Supplies Menu, Open the Care Menu, and click the drink. There are two types of drinks: Milk and Water. Water is eays To know how thirsty your dog is, open its status menu and check thirst. This is the amount of thirst, least thirsty to most thirsty: Quenched -> Normal -> Thirsty -> Parched If your dog is thirsty, do not wait until it's Parched, give the poor thing a drink. -Bath Time!!!- [A004c] Quick Note: Brush your dog after shampooing it; it'll stay beautiful a lot longer. Buy brushes and shampoo at pet supply. Also, before shampooing, open the status menu to check your dog's coat. If it has short hair, buy short-hair shampoo and rubber brush. If it has long hair, buy long-hair shampoo and wire brush. Bathing your dog is just a small, miniscule bit more complicated than feeding. To bathe, open the supplies menu, and tap your shampoo. If you only have one dog, you'll be brought to a screen asking if you want to bathe your dog. If you have two or more, you'll be prompted to pick which dog, and then get a confirmation message. Now you'll be brought to a sauna-type room with a sponge in front of you. To wash your dog, rub the sponge along its body. After a while, you'll hear a "beep-beep-beep." This signifies that your dog is as clean as clean gets. So, in the upper right-hand corner, tap the shower head and move it along its body. Soon, a message comes up saying "Someone looks beautiful!" This means you're done bathing, so onto... -Brushing- [A004d] After bathing, it's good to brush your dog's fur because doing so makes it stay beautiful a lot longer. Brushing is basically the same thing as bathing. Open the supplies menu, then open the care menu, then tap the brush. If you have only one dog, you'll then be asked, "Brush 's fur?" If you have two or more, you'll be asked which dog you want to brush, and then get the confirmation message. You'll be taken to a room with your puppy and a brush. To brush your dog's fur, simply move the brush along the dog's body. Soon, the same message, "Someone looks beautiful!" will come up. That's it for brushing! ==================== 5. Trick List [A005] ==================== There are four different types of tricks: Basic, "Top-screen," Advanced, and one Special Trick. Basic Tricks are tricks that can be performed by making a motion with the stylus. Top-screen tricks are tricks your dog performs on the top screen (to teach these, go to the home menu and zoom into the dog you want to learn the trick.) They randomly do top-screen tricks. Advanced tricks are awesome tricks done by saying one trick after another, NO PETTING in between. The one Special Trick is Sing. It's special because it's customizable. -Basic Tricks- [A005a] SIT Description: your dog sits. Dur... To perform: Rub the stylus along the dog in a downward direction. Comments: Remember, your first trick? LIE DOWN Description: Ummm...your dog lies down. To perform: A double sit. That is, while in sit position, rub the stylus in a downward direction. Comments: None SPIN Description: Your dog chases its tail. How to perform: Grab the dog's tail. After a bit, your dog will chase its tail. Comments: Jeez, your dog can hold this for over 20 seconds and not get dizzy! SHAKE Description: Your dog extends its paw to shake hands...paws. How to perform: Grab your dog's hand and pull it up. If your dog pulls the paw away from you, try again. Comments: This is a mirror move (can be taught on both sides as two different tricks). PLAY DEAD Description: Your dog lies on its side. How to perform: When in Lie Down position, slide your stylus across its back. Comments: Not really a good trick. Just teach roll over. ROLL OVER Description: Your dog lies on its back. How to perform: When in Play Dead position, slide the stylus across its belly. Comments: Kind of looks like a better version of play dead. PLAY Description: Your dog shakes its butt as if eager to play. How to perform: Just stare at your dog. It decides to do it, not you! Comments: Another mirror move (shakes it at you; away from you.) It's a pretty worthless trick; only good for teaching Jump. JUMP Description: Come on. Your dog jumps. How to perform: When your dog does Play, tap the air above it to get it to jump. Comments: There is a Hyper Jump, more on that in Advanced Tricks. BEG Description: Your dog bends its bottom legs outward, and puts in paws in front of it as if begging for something. How to perform: When your dog is on four paws, slowly slide the stylus up its belly. Comments: Kind of looks like a sumo... This trick is tough for dogs to perform. Don't get frustrated if your dog doesn't perform the trick soon after you buy the dog. BITE Description: Your dog bites that magic hand. How to perform: Grab your dog's paw as if performing Shake. Hold it there for awhile. Your dog will start to growl, and then it'll lunge at you and bite you. Comments: Not a really known trick. THIS TRICK WILL CAUSE YOUR DOG TO TEMPORARILY DISLIKE YOU. SNEEZE Description: Your dog sneezes. How to perform: Simply tap your dog's snout. Comments: This can also be a bite. SCRATCH Description: Your dog scratches its ear. How to perform: Grab your dog's ear and hold it. Your dog will scratch it. Comments: None SLAP Description: Your dog slaps you. How to perform: Tap your dog's paw. Comments: None HIGH-FIVE Description: Your dog puts his hand in the air as if ready to give a high-five. How to perform: Grab your dog's paw as if performing shake, but drag it up a little higher until your dog stands up halfway. Comments: None LEG SHAKE Description: Your dog shakes his leg. How to perform: Tap your dog's back leg. Comments: None -Top Screen Tricks- [A005b] NOTE: The "How to Perform" section will not be in these; they are randomly performed. DIG Description: Your dog digs...or attempts to. Comments: Wonder what they're looking for... SNIFF Description: Your dog sniffs the ground. Comments: Sniff sniff sniff I can't think of a good name for this next trick, so I'll try. E-Mail me if you have a good name! DRY OFF (Shaun suggested "Wet Dog") Description: Have you ever seen a dog dry itself off by shaking its body (and then water flies everywhere)? That's what this trick is. Comments: Where's the water? PLAY TOGETHER Description: One dog will lie on another dog, trample it, tackle it, etc. Comments: Aww, look at them play! HOWL Description: Occasionally, a siren will pass by, and your dogs will howl at it. Comments: You'll be waiting a long time for this trick. -Advanced Tricks- [A005c] NOTE: Between tricks, DO NOT pet your dog; they'll think the trick's over. BACKFLIP Requirements: Sit and Jump Description: Your dog does a backflip. How to Perform: Tell your dog to sit, and then to jump. Comments: They stumble on landing. FRONTFLIP Requirements: Roll Over and Jump Description: Your dog does a frontflip. How to perform: Tell your dog to Roll Over, and then to Jump. Comments: Looks like a wrestler recovering from a fall. DANCE Requirements: Beg Description: Your dog stands on two erect legs, and steps back and forth; left and right. How to perform: When in Beg stance, pull its paw up and wait for two seconds. Then, he'll dance! Comments: None BUNNY HOP Requirements: Dance, Jump, Your dog being in a good mood Description: Your dog hops a few times on two erect legs. How to Perform: Tell your dog to Dance, and then to Jump. Comments: Your dog will only do this if it's in a good mood. MEGA JUMP Requirements: Your dog being in a good mood Description: A jump to the top of the Touch Screen! How to perform: The same as Jump. Comments: Your dog MUST be in a good mood to perform this. CIRCLES Requirements: Beg, Spin Description: Your dog spins on two bent legs. How to Perform: Tell your dog to Beg, and then to Spin. Comments: Not a very cool trick. BREAKDANCE Requirements: Roll Over, Spin Description: Your dog spins on its back.

How to Perform: Tell your dog to Lie Down, and then to Beg. Comments: I like this one too. -The One...SPECIAL TRICK!- [A005d] SING Requirements: A Keyboard (See section 7d.) Description: Your dog barks a tune up to 15 notes. How to Perform: While playing the keyboard, you'll notice a camera on the left side. Tap the camera and it will zoom in on your dog. Now just play your tune, and it'll bark along! Comments: YOU MUST PLAY AT A SLOW TEMPO. THE TUNE CANNOT BE OVER 15 NOTES. ================================== 6. Money and Trainer Points [A006] ================================== -Earning Money- [A006a] There are two ways two earn money: selling items at the Secondhand Shop and winning Contests (see section 8). -What are Trainer Points?- [A006b] Trainer Points are points you get when you do something that benefits/raises your dog. They indicate how good a trainer you are. They also unlock different things (see section 9). -Earning Trainer Points- [A006c] There are several ways to earn Trainer Points. One is to feed your dog at the same time every day. For example, if I were to feed my dog at 7:30 AM and 5:30 PM every day, I would earn Trainer Points. Another way is to take your dog on walks. You get bonus Points if your dog befriends a dog on the walk (see next section). Yet another way is to win contests. The higher you place, the more you get. ================= 7. Walking [A007] ================= -Plot Your Walk- [A007a] Before you take a walk, you need to plan it out, right? Nintendogs has a simple way of doing this. First, I'll explain what that little yellow bar in the lower-left hand corner is. This is your dog's stamina. The more walks you take, the more stamina your dog gets. When you start, you can probably only go for a small little circle. However, after awhile of playing, your dog can travel across the whole entire town! Now, I'll explain how to actually PLAN the walk. It is very easy. All you do is draw the path! Sometimes, though, your brush gets a little wonky, so it might take several times to get a perfect path. When you like your path, connect it to your house door, and it will ask you if you want to take the walk. Also, be sure to get as many ? blocks as possible (more on that a bit later). -Manipulating the Leash- [A007b] You can't go for a walk without a leash, right? Well, a simulator is no exception. The leash is easy to manipulate. To get your dog to run, tug the leash to the right. If you want your dog to stop, tug it to the left. You can make your dog do a running jump by making it run, then tug the leash upward. You can finally make your dog roll over and drag him along the cement (but would you really do that?). I'm not sure how to do that, though; it's usually "luck" for me... -? Blocks- [A007c] You might be wondering, "What are these blocks on the map?" These can be one of two things: items, or other dogs. The items can be anything from meteorites to racing karts to sticks. As I said earlier, try to get as many as possible. There are also hidden ? blocks. They are where the regular ? blocks are, but are not on this walk. For example, pretend the X is a regular ? block: -------------- -------------- ----------X--- -------------- -------------- -------------- Now, the Z is where a hidden ? block would be when X is not: -------------- -------------- ----------Z--- -------------- -------------- -------------- If X wasn't occurring in the second map, there would be a 50% chance of Z occurring. Sorry if that was confusing, but I tried as best as I could. -Park, Gym, and Discount Shop- [A007d] There are also three areas you can visit while on a walk! They are the Park, the Gym, and the Discount Shop. The park is a large, open area to play with your dog. You can play Frisbee, Catch, and any other game you can't play in the very limited house. This is an excellent place to train for Disc Competitions [see section 8a]. There are two parks, one will always be empty. How you tell if the park is empty: On the plotting map, look at the park symbol. There will be dog symbols if it's occupied. The Gym is...not really a Gym, but more like the park. This is where you train for Agility Trials [see section 8b]. There are obstacles from the Agility trial, see section 8b for an in-depth description. The Discount Shop is a shop that has the same items as Pet Supply, but the items are cheaper! And, as an added bonus, there are exclusive items! They are: The Balloons, the Jump Rope, Pull Rope, the Dog Biscuit, Jerky Treat, and...The KEYBOARD, WHICH TEACHES THE SPECIAL TRICK! Now, there are different discounts at different times; I don't know the different prices, never really paid attention. Please E-Mail them to me! ================== 8. Contests [A008] ================== There are Dog Contests in Nintendogs, three to be exact. They include different classes, commentators, and of course...prizes! The classes are as follows: Beginner Open Expert Master Championship -The Disc Competition- [A008a] The Disc Competition is most likely the easiest of all contests. You throw a disc and your dog catches it. The farther it goes, the more points you get if it's caught. You also get bonus points for a jumping catch. The scoring system is as follows: Key: Color of land Points for normal catch-Points for jumping catch Blue 9-10 Red 7-8 Orange 5-6 Yellow 3-4 Light Green 1-2 Green Big Fat ZERO! Try to find your best spot, and stick with it. Always shoot far, and if you don't make it, try going a little weaker. Also, use a disc that's lucky for you. To use a certain disc in the competition, make sure that it's the last disc you play with. For example, if I wanted to use a Life Ring, I would play with the Life Ring in the house right before the competition. The prizes for winning are as follows: Beginner: $30 third place; $50 second place, $100 first place. Open: $60 third place; $100 second place; $200 first place. Expert: $100 third place; $150 second place; $300 first place. Master: Don't know third or second; $450 first place. Championship: $180 third place, $300 second place; $600 first place -Agility Trial- [A008b] The agility Trial is, in this game, another name for Obstacle Course. There are 4 types of obstacles, one has two variations. I will tell you what they are and how to get past them: Hurdle Simply tap the hurdle, and when your dog is in front of it, tap it again and your dog will jump. *IMPORTANT*: Make sure your dog is running straight toward it, because if you don't, there's a higher than you think chance that your dog will miss! With the Double Hurdle, it is literally impossible for you to make the jump if your dog is not running straight!!! Double Hurdle SEE HURDLE. Tunnel Tap the entrance of the Tunnel, and when your dog is at the entrance, slide the stylus along the Tunnel, following the direction it's in (i.e. if the tunnel is curved left, I would move the stylus in a forward-left direction to guide my dog.) Seesaw (the most annoying) This thing is a hard obstacle (possibly harder than the slalom). Tap the end of the Seesaw near you dog. When your dog gets on it, tap the other end to get them to move off the Seesaw. Also, if your dog is too far on the Seesaw, tap the end it started on to get it to stop. Slalom This is not very hard. To get through it, tap the first pole, and then slide your stylus slowly through the poles in a zigzag pattern. SLOWLY is the key word. In Beginner Class, there are Hurdles and Tunnels. In the Open Class, there are now Double Hurdles and Seesaws along with the Hurdle and Tunnel. In expert and up, there is every obstacle including slaloms. The scoring system is: Better rank for less errors made. If you tied with someone, whoever has the lowest time wins. -Obedience Trial- [A008c] The Obedience trial is arguably the hardest contest in the game. Your dog must perform tricks within a given time. The first and third sections are sections in which your dog simply performs the given tricks. The second and fourth sections are sections in which your dog must hold the given trick for X amount of time. The fifth section, and my favorite section, is Free Performance! In the perform section, the first has two tricks, and the second perform section has three tricks. The first hold section has a lesser time, and the second hold section has a longer time. The Free Performance Section is just that: Free Performance! If you know any Advanced Tricks or the Special Trick, this section can really rack up points. It can also save you if you bombed on one section. These are the difficulty...settings? Beginner Tricks: Sit, Lie Down, Shake Times for Hold Sections: First Section has 2 seconds; second section has 3. Open Tricks: Sit, Lie Down, Shake, Spin, Roll Over Times for Hold Section: First Section has 3 seconds, second section has 5. Expert Tricks: Sit, Lie Down, Shake, Spin, Roll Over, Jump, Beg Times for Hold Section: First Section has 5 seconds, second section has 10. Master Tricks: Same as Expert. Times for Hold Section: First Section has 10 seconds, second section has 15. Championship Tricks: Same as Expert. Times for Hold Section: First section has 15 seconds, second section has 20. That's it for the contests! And so we move onto... =================== 9. Bark Mode [A009] =================== Bark Mode is multiplayer Nintendogs. You and your friend can bring your dogs and have them interact with each other. Remember, what you do in one screen stays in one screen. In other words, if you attack your friend's dog, it won't be attacked in the other screen. There are a few extra features of Bark Mode: 1. You can bring a gift for your friend! It all depends on how nice you were to them, eh? 2. The first time you meet a new friend, if you bring a dog in that they don't have, the breed of dog you brought in appears in their kennel. Very helpful if you each have two different versions! That's it for Bark Mode. Moving on to... ======================================= 10.

That's all the Unlockables. -Glitches- [A0010b] I'm not too fond of glitches, in a game like this I prefer to play the right way. Infinite Walks/Easy Items. The way to perform this glitch is simple. You go on a walk, obtaining as many ? blocks as possible. After you get them, stop at the park. When at the park, change your dog's accessory. The game will save. You can turn it off and then turn it back on, and you will have the items you found, and you can go on another walk! Be aware that you do NOT get Trainer Points. Easy Trainer Points and "Touch Time" I don't know if this is a glitch, but anyway. Go to your supplies menu and use the Brush. PUT YOUR DS ON THE CHARGER!!! Now, just let the brush sit on your dog. For every minute, you get a Trainer Point and, obviously, more "Touch Time." I recommend you do this trick while asleep. One last note: You can't close your DS. Doing so will initiate sleep mode, thus nothing will happen. I kind of like this glitch, but not too much. Makes stuff too easy. And, that poor dog sits there for hours... That's all the glitches I know. -Secrets- [A0010c] Eating a bone and a...lightbulb?! To eat the bone, pet your dog and make it very happy. After a while, an outline of a bone might appear. Touch it and drag it to your dog's mouth. To eat the lightbulb, teach your dog a trick. If it understands you, a lightbulb will appear. Touch it and drag it to your dog's mouth.

I never find the worthless Etc. items...why? ====================== 12. Rare Items [A0012] ====================== -Pair of Star Sunglasses- [A0012a] This Accessory can only be obtained through one of those maddening Nintendo Events. In certain game stores, there will be a Bark Mode booth which contains the item. If you are the first one there, you get the item and a White Record message from the lesser-known of the two Duffs (Haylie) saying something like "Nintendogs are cool, what breed do you like?" If you are not the first one there, you get the item the last person traded. For example, if someone traded a RC Helicopter for the glasses, and I followed that person, I'd get the Copter. Which sucks. Royally. -Fireman Hat and Jack Russell Book- [A0012b] The two infamous items that unlock some cool breeds are very elusive and hard to get. It could take 2 weeks; it could take half a year. There is a logical rumor about how to get the Fireman Hat. After you hear a siren, go on a walk and you might get the Fireman Hat! Get it? Huh? Siren? Fire Truck? Once again, the Lucky Collar/Clover Clock might give you a better chance of finding both. Another strategy that works for me, and a few people asking me about these, is a New Year Tiara, a Clover Clock, and as with all rare items, happiness. And a max-size stamina bar would help. Another rumor that Ashley told me about is that wearing something red (i.e. Mario Hat) on a walk gives you a good chance of finding the Fireman Hat. =========================== 13.
