How to keep your dogs clean and fed if you get too busy to play
You know if you accidently skip a day maybe because you're very busy - you lose trainer points and your dog can get dirty and very thirsty and hungry.
If you know you're not going to be able to deal with your dogs - maybe you're going out of have a family do then follow these instructions:
1) Make sure all the dogs are fed, watered and clean then plug DS into the mains adaptor. VERY IMPORTANT!
2) Select one of your dogs to go for a walk.
3) When you're on the route planning screen, just close your DS so it goes into standby. ( you can even plan your route and OK it and when your dog appears close the DS).
4) When you come back the next day or so, open your DS, you can either take your dog for a walk or cancel the walk, either way, ALL the dogs are in the same condition you left them in and the dog you took for a walk will be clean and need a bit of water.
This is the same regardless how long you leave it. I found this out by accident when I was walking my dog I put it in to stand by and forgot about it til the next day!
So if you know you can't tend to them all day every day, follow this cheat to keep ya pups (and your parents) happy!!!
