When you feed your dog you should give it food first then give it water because when you give food to your dog it gets thirstier so when you give your dog water first then food it will be thirsty again

1.Make sure your game is in the cartrage slot and turn it on.
2.Touch 'Nintendogs Nintendo' icon or press 'A'.
3.Wait for it to load.
4.Buy shampoo.
5.Touch "Give a bath"
6.Put the sponge on his/her head.
7.Leave it there overnight with it charging and leave it open.
8.After 10 minutes of not 'touching' it it will go into temporary sleep mode and both screens will go black(this is good).
9.Leave for overnight.
10.Give your dog a bath and brush it.
11.You will have 2000 more points for a 10 hour bath.
12.Repeat!

Okay, this is for all Nintendogs users. At lower trainer levels you need only 5,000 trainer points to get something, correct? Not when you reach Charasmatic Tamer (or Trainer, I don't know) it isn't! At Charasmatic Tamer (OR TRAINER), you need 10,000 points, and possibly, if there is a higher level, you will probably need 15,000!!!!!! This is for anyone who thinks it will be a continuous 5,000. Hope I helped all of you.

MAY THE FORCE BE WITH ME AND ALL SITH ON KORRIBAN!

Most of you probably know this but to get infinite walks you finish your walk then bring your dog to the park. Then switch accessories. The game will save. Turn off the game and you can do another walk. BM1R

Some ways to get trainer points are to:

1. Put your dog in the shower and leave soap on him and the next day you will have trainer points
2. Rub your dog's stomach or head or back to get treats and then give the treats to your dogs
3. Go on long walks with your dogs
4. Feed you dogs
5. Do compititions
6. PLAY WITH YOUR DOG WHENEVER YOU GET THE CHANCE TO!!!!!!!!

Okay people, now you know when you pet your dog you see a glowing dog biscuit?
Also when they understand what you are saying? DON'T LET IT DISSAPPEAR!!! You can feed it to your dog as a treat. Just call it a reward for being a good dog.
(It took me months to figure out what they were!) Hope this stupid hint helps!

Here are some ok hints I learned about:

boxes further away from the house are useuly better if you walk your dog at night you tend to get better gifts, but don't walk them to many times at night or they will end up sleeping during the day.

after you give your dog a bath brush his fur for a while and they get really shiney.

diffrent dogs are better at diffrent tasks: the Chahuahua is good at obediancs but you can only teach them about 3 tricks a day or they where out, the golden retriveers happen to be good a the disk compations take them to the park 2 or 3 times a day and they'll get really good, the boxers are good at agility just take them to the gym a few times a day and they'll get pretty good.


Dont forget to sell items you don't need or your dogs don't like and you will some money for things you actully need.


If you go to a park with a dog icon on it you will get to play with other dogs they will try to get disks befor your dog does so it challeges your dog and they get to play with some one new for a change.

Thats all I got but I hope it's helpfull for you plz give me a good rating I just got my accoutn.

Here are some pretty good tips:

* Boxes farther away from your house give you better items.
* On walks, when you are done going places, before you go to your house, go to
the park and change accessories on your dog. Then it will save, you can
turn the DS off and back on and immediately go on another walk.
* When you meet another dog on a walk, play with it until the game makes you
leave. If it says your dog is in a great mood, the mext present you get
will be something good.
* Discount shops are not just for lower prices, sometimes they have special
items that you can't get at the normal shop.
* Here is a list of all the special items from discount shops:

balloon
keyboard
jump rope
pull rope
windup toy
talking bird
dog biscuit
jerky treat

* If you have an Action Replay DS...here is a list of the nintendogs cheats:

maximum stamina for walks
infinite money
maximum trainer points
infinite competition entry
maximum disc competition points

... That of course is only for chihuahua and friends.If you have dalmation and friends there is also a cheat that gives you all the items in the game...

Wear a Camo collar on a walk to better your chances of getting a Combat copter.

Piggy Banks and Vases - You can sell these items cheaply, but if you smash them on the floor back at your house they will give you some money. The amount varies with each vase/piggy bank.

Bark Mode Dogs - The first time you ever meet someone in Bark Mode, persuade them to bring a dog that is unavailable in your game. When you come out of Bark Mode, the dog you took will become available in their kennel, and the dog they took will become available in yours. (This only works the first time you ever meet someone. My advice is to bring the version dog with you if you meet somebody with amother version, because the version dogs are hardest to unlock. E.g. Bring a Chihuahua if you are meeting someone with Dachschund and Friends.)

Light Bulbs and Bones: When you stroke your dog, sometimes a sketchy bone shape will glow at the bottom of the screen. Quickly grab it and drag it into your dog's mouth with the stylus and it will eat it, and it will make your dog like you more. Do the same with light bulbs when teaching your dogs tricks.

Meet a Dog or Get a Present - If your dog barks once on a walk next to a '?' sign, you will get a present. If it barks twice, it means you will meet another dog.

Unlock Dalmations - Find a Fireman's Hat on a walk, and Dalmations will become available in the kennel.

Unlock Jack Russels - Find a Jack Russel Book on a walk, and Jack Russels will become available in the kennel.

Items only available in the Discount Shops - Dog Biscuit, Jerky Treat, Balloon, Keyboard, Talking Bird, Wind-up Toy, Pull Rope, Jump Rope.

To get lots of trainer points get a brush leave your DS on all night (you will probably want to plug it in to a charger) with the brush just sitting on your dog and you will earn trainer points.

When you go on a walk, go to the park and change your dog's collar. This saves the game. After that, turn your game off. You will have everything you got before saving at the park, and get to go on a walk again.

Backflip - tell your dog to sit then jump backspin - make your dog lie on it's back then tell it to spin

If you get a wierd object, such as a boot, you can use that to play with your dogs, but don't really expect them to play with it at all. (Hey, I think I smell something foul on that shoe!!)

Also, if you get a new toy, but your dog never gets used to it, don't use it at all. The dog would start acting neglected and stuff.

Infant walks;

First you have to have atleast 2 accesaries,then put 1 on any dog and then take it on a walk then got to as many ?s as possible but make sure you go to the park and when you get to the park put any accserraries on then it will save then turn it off you will b able to walk again and keep the items you find

When you go to a contest, save your game, go to the contest, if you know your dog is going to get left back, turn off the DS, go back to the game, you'll be at the same class and you can keep doing this until you win 1st. This is good for when your in a championship

It's better to get items far away from your home because even I got a mario kart at the edge of town!

When you take a walk, go to the park at one point then change your dogs accesorie let it save then turn it off.when you turn it back on, you'll have all the things you got from that walk and you can take another walk.

If you win first place on the championships on the agility trial you will get 1,000 dollars!

When you want a breed from other Nintendogs just find somebody from Bark Mode with other breeds (not from your game)
Well this is for all Nintendogs game I MEAN IT
-Cheat 101

First you need the right brush for your dog the when your brushing your dog leave the brush on the dog and put your DS on it's charger and leave it open and on over night and when you wake up the next morning you'll have more trainer points than you did before.

Ever wonderd when something will happen on a walk, i.e. When you pass an item. Well it's simple realy, make your dog run by pulling foward, keep your eye on the top screen, when the dog icon stops, something is about to come past. So get ready to pull back if there is an item.

To make your dog do a handstand, tell it to lie dow, then straight after tell it to beg. Your dog will do a handstand!

A good way of teaching your dogs tricks is by finding the record, "Flower Waltz". When it is played your dogs will dance along to it performing lots of new tricks, and all you have to do is zoom in on the dog you want to teach them to and touch the lightbulbs as they come along. Some of the tricks they do are jumps, bouncing, twirling and even a backflip at the very end!

To get free trainer points what you got to do is go into where you give your dog a bath and just leave your dog in the bathroom.

You will gain one trainer point for every minute your dog is in there.

It's free trainer points. This works for all nintendog games.

If one of the dogs you own has a "coat" status of "Dirty" or "Filthy" you might want to wash it. So if you shampoo it, the colour of the bubbles are black.( this will only happen if it's status is dirty or fiithy) If you spray it before shampooing it, the bubbles will come up white, saving you from having to shampoo it twice. :)
