Nintendogs: Chihuahua & Friends Hints

Hint: Free Gifts and Toys
While you can purchase new toys for your pup to play with, you can actually get some goodies for free if you know where to look. When you take your Nintendog on a walk, outline a path that goes by the blue "?" boxes marked on the map. Your puppy is likely to run off screen at those points and come back with a present for you!
Your puppy will also randomly run to get presents for you if you leave the game on the "Home" screen for long. If left unattended, your Nintendog will leave the apartment and stay off screen. Simply tap on the center button (the circular one) to whistle and call back your pup who should be carrying a new present.

Hint: Gift Locator
To find out if garbage or a present is approaching during one of your walks, look at the top screen. There should be the little dog symbol on the path that you drew. If that dog symbol stops and your dog is still walking, this indicates that either garbage or a present is coming up on the floor. If it is a present, tug your dog to a stop and your dog will notice it. It will pick it up and bring it over to you. It is easier to do this when your dog is running.

Hint: Beat The System
Prior to attending a contest, save the game. While attempting the trial, you may opt to turn off the Nintendo DS and reload your save (before the contest) to retry without docking your daily contest limit.

Hint: Easy Trainer Points
Navigate to the screen where you wash your puppy. Instead of actually brushing the puppy, leave the brush over your puppy (in the center of your dog). For each real-time minute the brush stays there sits there, you should gain one Trainer Point.

Hint: Walk Till You Drop
Before making the last stop in the park, change your dog's collar to auto-save your game. Turn off the DS and cold boot the game. This will enable you to save any items you found during the walk and restarts your walk at the same time, allowing you to farm the park for items.

There are three ways to get cool rare presents

1. if you set the ds date to your birthday and go on a walk youll get cool presnets

2. set the date to christmas and wear the santa claus hat on a walk

3. set the date to new years and wear the new year tiara on a walk

For every minute you brush your dog you get a trainer point. Plug your charger in for your DS and leave the brush on your dog... If you do that all night when you wake up in the morning you will have A LOT more trainer points.

Go To 'Supplies list' and click on the 'care' section. Get your brush (can be wire or rubber) and drag it to the middle of your dogs body, it must be there for the cheat to work. Also, YOU NEED TO KEEP YOUR NDS OPEN FOR THIS CHEAT TO WORK! If you do this, you should get 12 trainer points a minuite. This works on any N/D Version.

Here are a few cool tricks your dogs can do with certain items.
Tug-O-War: You need a pull rpoe. Toss the blue rope into the room. If you have two dogs, they should bite one end of the rope and tug each other!
Flying Dog!: Have a pull rope out of its box. Move it around until one of your dogs bight the end of it. Don't lift your STYLUS! Make circles with your stylus and your dog should be flining around! Eventually it'll fly off!
Jump Rope: You must have two dogs and a jump rope. Take out the jump rope. One dog will bite the other end. Swing the jump rope. Your other dog(s) will jump over the rope and might jump so high that it falls on its belly!
Dancing: Dogs will dance when you're playing a record! Certain songs make your dogs do certain things such as bark, turn in circles, ect.

Well, adoration points unlocks dogs, and this cheat shows you hot to get them. While you are brushing your dogs, you get 1 adoration point per minute, so, if you leave your ds on the charger, on the brush screen, overnight, you could unlock a dog or 2.

This is another way to get dogs, but you need someone with a game that you have never connected to (eg. if i have duchand and friends, and i have connected to my friend with his dalmation and friends, it will not work with dalmation and friends anymore, unless you start a new file)What you must do, is get your friend to send you a dog that is not in your kennel on bark mode, and then, when you go back home, that dog will be unlocked. Hope ypu find this helpful, ill put more on later!!!! (P.S. with the second cheat, if u send a dog that your friend doesnt have, and yor friend sends a dog taht u dont have, u will both unlock those dogs)(and these cheats work on any version i think, not sure about Best Friends, but u can try)

To find the book, I suggest you search around the ranch areas. Some people say that they found it in the beach areas. So, when drawing your path, go past the shorelines and ranch areas with your oldest dog.

On Feb. 2nd, I unlocked the Jack Russell Terrier! People say to wear a lucky collar and use a clover clock to find the book used to unlock them with. And it worked!!! It took me DOZENS and DOZENS of walks. My suggestions on finding it would be to use your oldest dog and take it for a long walk. Be sure to have a lot of trainer points. After going over every "?" mark on the map, draw the path to the park, then right back to your house. On your way back, do not go over ANY "?"s. Go on your walk. When you finally reach the park, change your dog's collar, bow or hat. It will say "Saving...Do not turn the power off". Then, (if you didn't find the book) after that, you turn the power off. When you turn it back on, your data would have saved, but you could go for another walk without having to wait 25 minutes! Keep on doing this until you find the book.

First, you need a dog that has an acessory on. Then you take it on a walk by mark boxes but that are heading to the park. Once you get there, take OFF the acessory and put ON a NEW one. It will save. Then, turn your DS off. Turn it back on and your dog will be home with all the stuff you got on the walk. YOu can sell the all the doubles and after you do this for a while, you will have ALOT of money. I did.

When you buy a pull rope, you should really try this out! First, drag the rope in front of the puppy. Then, when he/she grabs it, pull on it and wait a bit. Don't pull too hard or the puppy will let go of the rope. After a couple of seconds, your puppy will hang on the rope! Try swinging the rope around! It's really funny to swing your puppy across the room! Sometimes if you swing too hard, the puppy will let go. See how long you can keep your puppy hanging on the rope! Tell me how long it took with a comment!

When you approach a question mark box your dog will stop and bark either 1 or 2 times. If your dog barks 1 time, it's a gift. If your dog barks 2 times, it's a dog. Hope I helped!!!

To get your dog to walk in a circle tell it to begg and then say stand. It then should walk in a circle. Your dog doesn't have to know stand but needs to know to beg

Go to the store and buy an action replay.
it tis so much easier than doing all of this stuff that doesnt work.
just buy one and look up cheats for it.

I guess in a way this is a glitch.I put this under "Nintendogs Chiuahuah and Friends" because this is the only version I've tested it for.It may work for all versions though.Ok first teach your dog how to "Shake" then after teaching it,make it shake.While it's paw is in the air grab it and then shake it in front of its face(it may take a few tries).If succesful your dog will bark and if you are still petting its face you may take control of the dog causing you to be able to shake it around or whatever!*Warning!!*This glitch will make your dog mad at you causing you not to be able to play with it(This only lasts for like a minute though).Well have fun ^-^

When you reach a box on a walk, it's either a present or a dog, if it's a present, you dog will bark once. if it's a dog, your dog will bark twice.


(P.S. im not sure what kinda cheat this is.:()

This cheat is funny!! grab ur dogs paw and shake it, ur dog will get mad at u (only last a few minutes). u can grab his/her head and when fallen on back pet it and it look like it's dancing!! well, i hope u enjoy it!!
