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. See section [A002a] to see the starting dogs.
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.
Q: How can I permanently delete a used game's data?
A: I've been getting this question a lot, yet neglected to add it here...meh.
Anyways, upon clicking the game on the main menu, hold in the buttons
(L, R, A, B, Y, and X) simultaneously and you should be prompted to delete it.
==================
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

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 (changes take 24 hours to come into effect,
by the way). 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...you cruel
person =P.
-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 <dog's name>'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.

==================================
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

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...

-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...
Infinite Contest Entries
If you've reached your 3 contest per day limit, go to the DS's settings, set
the date to yesterday (if it's 1/20/07, set it to 1/19/07) and the time to
23:59 (11:59 P.M.). Now, wait a minute and you should be able to do contests
again.
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. Silly puppies!

======================
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.
All of these may or may not be connected to finding the items...you decide.
