While Nintendogs may sound retarded, it's more fun than it may sound. The
object (obviously) about Nintendogs is to raise your dog. You can have up to
three dogs at one time, but if you go beyond three dogs, your other dogs you
purchase get deposited in a Dog Hotel for later use. Also, you have to feed
your dog everyday, give him drink everyday, take him out for walks, brush him,
bathe him, all the basics. There are also contests you can enter your dog in,
and you can even link up with another Nintendogs player and check out his dog,
and play with it and stuff. Also, you teach your dog tricks on Nintendogs.
Overall, this is not a bad game, but it gets boring quite fast.

Version 1.0 / Completed the guide.
Version 1.1 / Added two new Codes n' Secrets in the section, and another
question in the FAQs section of the guide.
Version 1.2 / Added a little something to the FAQ. You will probably never
notice. This was "supposed" to be the final version, but it
is not.
Version 1.3 / This is not the final version, obviously, as I fixed the margins
of the FAQ, and added some items. Thanks to Paul Almer for
giving me the info on them. I will hold off on the last versions
until I truly feel the guide has no need for an update. One more
thing I added was another question to the FAQs section.
Version 1.4 / Added a section called "Unlockables", which is section number
14. Also added a ton of information about the competitions, and
a good bit of other things, so check it out for yourself!
Version 1.5 / Added another update. Nothing major, though.
Version 1.6 / Fixed some info on Code n' Secret #4. That's it.
Version 1.7 / Added some more information to the Disc Competition In-Depth
Information part in this FAQ. Also, added another site that has
permission to use the FAQ. Also, added how much money you win
from the Master Class and Championship on Agility Trials.
Nothing else worth mentioning.
Version 1.8 / Added a FAQ to the FAQs section, also added some information on
how much money you get from the Competitions on Beginner Class,
Open Class, and Expert Class. Not all of that information is
complete yet, though, so please, just give me some time. I'll
have it.
Version 1.9 / Added another FAQ to the FAQs section, and also added some info
regarding the money you win in the competitions. More with the
competitions to come later. Also, fixed Code n' Secret #5, and
credited the person who gave me that information. Thank you! :D
Version 2.0 / Removed Code n' Secret #8 from the Codes n' Secrets section of
the FAQ, as that was inaccurate information according to someone
who e-mailed me. Thanks for pointing that out man!
Version 2.1 / Added something minor to the FAQs section.
Version 2.2 / Corrected a typo in the Introduction section, and also added a
small bit of information to the Trainer Points information in
the Game Basics section. Nothing major in this update.
Version 2.3 / Finally added the amount of money you win for each place (e.g.
1st, 2nd, 3rd) in the competitions. Also, added another FAQ to
the FAQs section of the guide. More to come soon!
Version 2.4 / Added another FAQ to the FAQs section of the FAQ.
Version 2.5 / Yet another version. All I did this time was add another Code n'
Secret to the FAQ. The next version "could" be the final one,
but I doubt it.
Version 2.6 / Added some accurate info to the competitions section about how
much money you win on them.
Version 2.7 / Corrected something, thanks to LMT!
Version 2.8 / Added two more things to the Codes n' Secrets section, thanks to
davgamerx!

| 3. Dogs                                                              |

You can get all the dogs from each version (even though this is the Chihuahua
version) except for the Dalmation and the Jack Russell Terrier. To get those,
you'll have to find some rare items. The only difference in each version aside
from that are the version exclusive items, and the fact that you can start off
with breeds that you can't in the other versions. This section will list all
of the dogs in this game, including the Dalmation and the Jack Russell
Terrier. One more thing: You can buy each dog from Kennel (except for the
Dalmation and the Jack Russell Terrier). NOTE: You can eventually unlock all
18 dogs in any version by just going through the game.
Also, each dog has a different personality. For example, if your brother
bought a Chihuahua and you have one too, that doesn't mean that both of your
dogs will have the same personality just because they are of the same breed.
All dogs, no matter what breed they are, are different.

| 4. Storyline                                                         |
|=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-|
Well, let's see. You simply insert the game into your DS, turn on the "POWER",
and then you will be prompted to select a dog after knocking on the door of
Kennel. After acquiring your dog, you are off to raise it as your own, and
teach it tricks and such. All the basics of raising a dog.
|=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-|
| 5. Controls                                                          |

A Button: Confirm selected actions
B Button: Cancel selected actions
L Button: Does nothing
R Button: Does nothing
Start Button: Does nothing
Select Button: Does nothing
Stylus/Touch Screen: This is how the game works. As you can see from what I
stated about the controls above, the buttons do hardly
anything

| 6. Game Basics                                                       |
|=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-|
Lightbulb: This lightbulb will appear everytime you do something to your dog
that will enable to him to be able to begin learning a trick. For
example, if you were to touch down on his head to make him use
"Sit", then this lightbulb would appear on the top right corner of
the screen. When this lightbulb appears, touch it with the stylus,
and then input your voice command for the trick you are trying to
learn. It may take several tries. Also, it's a good idea to try and
use the exact same pronouncation and the same accent each time you
teach your dog a trick, to avoid confusing your dog (more on this
in the Tricks section of the guide).
Bone: If you praise your dog enough, or if you keep playing it him and
teaching it tricks, then you'll see a gold bone appear. When this
appears, quickly grab the stylus and move the bone into his mouth, and
he'll chew it and it'll make it love you more. This gold bone will
appear more than once.
Feeding Your Dog: This isn't hard. This is located on the Supplies List icon
when you press the red arrow on the top left corner of the
screen. Anyway, to feed your dog, simply go to the "Supplies
List" icon, and select a Dog Food Can, or Dry Food to feed
it and give it to it. You will have to feed your dog
everyday to be sure that it doesn't starve. If your dog is
not fed for long periods of time, it may feel neglected and
run away from home.
Giving Your Dog Drink: This is also located in the Supplies List area. You
give it drink via a Water Bottle, or drink via a Milk
Carton. If you don't give your dog drink everyday or
often (I would suggest, and I hope you would too, often
because your dog gets thirsty a lot faster than it does
get hungry) it may feel neglected and run off.
Walking Your Dog: If you wanna walk your dog, simply go to the "Go Out" icon
by pressing the red arrow at the top left of the screen. You
can only walk your dog every 30 minutes. When you walk it,
you can find other dogs on the road, or find items which can
sometimes be rare! Walking your dog builds up its stamina,
which means you'll gradually be able to take longer walks.
Red Arrow: At the top left of the screen, there is a red arrow. The red arrow
brings up tons of things. I do not feel that I need to explain it.
Dog Icons: There are three dog icons when you press the red arrow. Two of them
are mere shadows until you get your other two dogs. The first one,
which is where your first dog fits in (duh), is where you can find
information about your dog. By clicking the "?" mark on this icon,
you can find the Trick List which will show all of the tricks your
dog has learned. Also, you can view the time of you have spent with
your dog, as well as other things.
Supplies List: The Supplies List is found by pressing the red arrow on the top
left of the screen. The Supplies List menu brings up the screen
where you can feed your dog, give it a drink, and it also lists
the books that you what to do on this game such as the Dog
Training Book. More on this in the Items section of the guide.
Deleting Tricks: Click the "?" mark on your dog's picture after you press the
red arrow. Then, go to Trick List and you can delete tricks
if you want.
Trainer Points: For each minute you spend with your dog, you'll earn one
Trainer Point. Trainer Points are used to unlock items and
the like. You can also get Trainer Points by walking your dog,
but don't do the "Walking Without Waiting" glitch listed in
the Codes n' Secrets section of the FAQ, as you won't be able
to earn them that way. Finally, if your dog eats trash or
loses in a competition, you lose Trainer Points.
Parks: When you go to walk your dog, there are some parks you can enter in the
area. Parks help your dog train for Disc Competitons and Agility
Trials.

| 8. Tricks                                                            |
|=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-|
There are tons of tricks in this game. There are also two types of tricks:
Basic, and Advance. I'll list all of them below. NOTE: The game makes you
teach your dog the command "Sit" after you get it from Kennel. Also, you can
only teach your dog 3 or 4 tricks per day (24 hours). Not only that, your dog
can only learn up to 15 tricks. Period. It'll learn even less, depending on
the difficulty of the trick that you teach it (e.g. if you teach it an
advanced trick, it won't be able to learn an exact number of 15 tricks).
Depending on how much you befriend your dog, it'll learn the tricks almost off
bat. Note that some tricks are harder for certain dogs to do. For example, on
my first file in this game, it took me about 15-20 tries before I could
actually learn Roll Over. Whereas on my second file it didn't take me near
that amount of time, but it took forever to learn jump on the second file, so
just be patient and know your dog is different from others.
Finally, try and pronounce your voice command for your dog to learn a trick
the same way each time, followed by the same accent, to avoid confusing your
dog. IMPORTANT NOTE: You will probably notice while teaching your dog tricks
that three red ? marks will appear above its head. When the red ? marks
appear, it means your dog didn't understand the specified command. If you see
a blue ? mark, it means it got confused with another command that it already
knows. Remember this, as it is very important and essential when trying to get
your dog to learn tricks.
Basic Tricks:
Sit
Description: This makes your dog sit down (obviously). You get this trick when
you first get your dog, because the game makes you learn it.
How To Do It: When your dog is standing, move the stylus down on his head to
make him sit.
Shake
Description: Allows your dog to wave at someone (don't ask me why the game
calls this Shake).
How To Do It: When your dog is standing, lift up its right paw. Note that you
can also do another form of this with the dog's left hand. That
is considered an advanced (mirror) trick.
Lie Down
Description: Your dog will lay down when it learns this.
How To Do It: When your dog is in "Sit" position, touch his head down with the
stylus and he'll lie down.
Roll Over
Description: This makes your dog roll over. Kinda obvious.
How To Do It: Make your dog sit, then lie down. Then, draw a straight line
horizontally with the stylus. Your dog will be on its side. Now,
draw a straight line up with the stylus. and teach him the voice
command for Roll Over.
Spin
Description: Your dog will chase its tail.
How To Do It: When your dog is standing, grab his tail with the stylus, and
he'll chase his tail. Keep doing this until you learn it.
Jump
Description: Make your dog jump.
How To Do It: When your dog shakes its butt, tap above its head twice, and
it'll jump. Keep this up till it learns it.
Beg
Description: Your dog will stand up on its two legs, with its other legs in
the air in a begging position.
How To Do It: This can be a bit hard to do, as the Dog Training Book states.
However, if you are good friends with your dog, it shouldn't be
much of a problem. Anyway, to do it, when your dog is standing
up, then from the bottom, draw a straight line up with the
stylus and it should stand on two legs, with the other two in
the air. Teach it the voice command for Beg when it does this.
Advanced Tricks:
IMPORTANT NOTE: Advanced tricks can be extremely hard for your dog to do,
depending on its breed. The Shiba breed has the easiest time
of performing these "advanced" tricks. When you enounter an
advanced trick in the game, you probably won't know what to
input for the voice command if you happen to touch the
lightbulb (the lightbulb disappears really fast). Try and
think a name for the move your dog does, so that the next time
it does it, you will be able to teach it the ability without
you getting excited and messing it up. Advanced commands also
require certain abilities. For example, the Flip technique,
which I am going to list below, requires Roll Over and Jump.
Flip
Description: Your dog will perform a huge backflip.
Required Commands: Roll Over, Jump
How To Do It: Make your dog lie on its back (like you did to learn Roll Over).
Then, don't pet it, but instead make it jump. Also, it helps if
your dog is fed, and given water. Don't pet your dog when it is
on its back, or it'll think you mean to tell him that the trick
is no more. Keep trying, as this takes a lot of patience.
Backflip
Description: Your dog will perform a backflip.
Required Commands: Sit, Jump
How To Do It: Make your dog sit, then immediately make it jump. Keep doing it,
because it could take a while, and be sure to press the
lightbulb immediately.
Handstand
Description: Your dog will perform a handstand.
Required Commands: Lie Down, Beg
How To Do It: Make your dog lie down. When it is laying down, immediately make
it use the command "Beg". There is another way to do it. Here's
how: When your dog is shaking its butt, quickly draw a straight
line from down to up and sometimes your dog will do a handstand!
Spin Around
Description: While standing, your dog will spin around.
Required Commands: Spin, Beg
How To Do It: Make your dog use "Beg", then "Spin". Remember not to pet your
dog while it is doing this, or it'll mess up.
Dance
Description: Your dog will do a dance.
Required Commands: Beg
How To Do It: Take one of your dog's paws, and help it up. Your dog should now
be on his hind paws, and be steady as well. Finally, let go of
its paw and it'll start dancing.
Hop
Description: Your dog will hop. Obviously.
Required Commands: Dance, Jump
How To Do It: Make your dog dance, then make it jump immediately to perform
this command. Keep it up until your dog learns it.
A New Kind of Jump
Description: Your dog will jump even higher than with the normal Jump command.
Required Commands: N/A
How To Do It: This depends on the mood your dog is in. First off, do the same
exact thing you did for Jump. If your lucky, your dog will jump
extremely high. Up to your stylus above his head! WOW!
Breakdance
Description: Your dog will spin on its back.
Required Commands: Roll Over, Spin
How To Do It: Make your dog roll on its back, then immediately make it do
Spin. Keep doing this until your dog learns Breakdance.

| 9. Bathing                                                           |
|=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-|
I don't know why I included a section for this, but I did. Since we have one,
I may as well explain "some" information about it. You can bathe your dog at
any time. The game restricts you from walking your dog until every 30 minutes,
but you can bathe your dog anytime. Always remember to bathe your dog until
his status appears "Beautiful" on the screen where it shows you how much time
you've spent with your dog and all. When your dog is beautiful, it'll help to
win contests. A LOT. Your dog can go through these stages of cleanliness:
Beautiful
Description: This is obtained when you give your dog tons of bath. Even the
status "Clean" cannot compare to this.
Message To Know You're At This Status: " is feeling very
good now!"
Clean
Description: Your dog is clean, but not beautiful. Easily obtained.
Message To Know You're At This Status: " is clean!"
Normal
Description: Your dog is neither clean nor dirty.
Message To Know You're At This Status: " is somewhat clean
now."
Dirty
Description: Your dog is dirty.
Message To Know You're At This Status: " is dirty."
Note: This message may be wrong, because I've never actually got to see what
it says on this state, because I washed my dog more than once in one
shampoo use.
Filthy
Description: Your dog is filthy
Message To Know You're At This Status: " is filthy."
Note: This message may be wrong, because I've never actually got to see what
it says on this state, because I washed my dog more than once in one
shampoo use.
Also, a final note. You need to use the Wire Brush for long-haired dogs, and
the Rubber Brush for short-haired dogs. ALWAYS brush your dog after giving it
a bath. You can also bathe your dog till it becomes Beautiful, even if it is
at Filthy, in just one shampoo use. This conserves money and time.
|=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-|
| 10. Bark Mode                                                        |
|=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-|
In Bark Mode you can link up with another wireless partner who is currently
playing Nintendogs. Even if the wireless user has another version aside from
Chihuahua & Friends, you can still link up with him/her. In Bark Mode, even
after the wireless partner has left, you can pet the other person's dog to see
how it reacts. Also, you can trade dogs with another wireless partner.
Finally, you can send the other player's dog a present from your own
inventory. In Bark Mode you can also send the other player a 5 second voice
message from your "White Record" (more on that in the Items section). Other
than that, Bark Mode is useless.
|=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-|
| 11. Contests                                                         |
|=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-|
There are three types of contests (competitions and trials) that you can enter
in Nintendogs. In all three versions to be exact. I will list all the
information needed in this section below. Also, in the Obedience Trials,
you'll have to do what you are prompted to do on the screen. For example, on
an Obedience Trial, you will sometimes be prompted to hold Sit for 15 seconds.
Do what the screen tells you. Also, on other competitions (Disc Competition
and Agility Trial), you won't be prompted to do any form of commands. Also,
at the end of the Obedience Trial, you will have to do a Free Performance
which means you can make your dog do whatever tricks you want without being
commanded to do what the game wants you to do (duh). Other than that, not much
else to list. IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure you feed, give water to, and bathe
your dog before entering an Agility Trial, a Disc Competition, or an Obedience
Trial, as it'll help you win a whole lot.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Not all of the information about the amount of money you win
may be 100% accurate, but I tried to make it accurate, but I
have not played this game in forever. Also, I got the info
about if you make first place in the competitions how much
money you get, from the message boards on GameFAQs, so credit
goes to NintendogBeast for giving me that information. Thanks!
Note that the second and third place prize information was
written of what I "think" may the correct answer. Please
e-mail me and correct me if I'm wrong in ANY of the info
listed below. Thank you. Also note that all credit goes to
Nathan Arboleda and a couple other people for sending me info
about how much money you win on the competitions! Thanks!
Note also that this section is almost complete (after the
correct amount of money is written down, it'll be complete).

Disc Competition In-Depth Information:
Well, first off, your dog has to know how to catch the discs very easily. It
also has to be able to return it to you without a fight, if you are to win the
bigger contests, such as the Expert Class. Also, you start off in the green
zone in a Disc Competition. The zones represent colors. From the green zone,
throw the disc as far as you can and if your dog catches it, you'll receive
points! Depending on which color it catches it on, you'll get greater or
lesser points. Here are the points each color gives you:
Blue Zone
Jumping Catch Points Earned: 10
Regular Catch Points Earned: 9
Red
Jumping Catch Points Earned: 8
Regular Catch Points Earned: 7
Orange
Jumping Catch Points Earned: 6
Regular Catch Points Earned: 5
Yellow
Jumping Catch Points Earned: 4
Regular Catch Points Earned: 3
Light Green
Jumping Catch Points Earned: 2
Regular Catch Points Earned: 1
Green
Jumping Catch Points Earned: N/A
Regular Catch Points Earned: N/A
Also note that in a Disc Competition you have only 1 minute to get as many
points as possible, and score the win. Be very careful in the latter contests,
and make sure your dog is well trained and disciplined. Take him/her to the
park for training every now and then. The second your dog has the disc, if it
does not come back to you immediately or shortly after, tap the touch screen
to call him. If your dog is not well trained and does not respond to you when
you call him, this can easily cause you to lose even the simplest of
competitions.
Beginner Class
Description: As always, the Beginner Class is the easy class. Not much of a
problem, here.
Money For Winning: 1st Place: $100, 2nd Place: $50, 3rd Place: $30

Description: A slightly harder challenge, just make your dog is trained a bit.
Money For Winning: 1st Place: $200, 2nd Place: $100, 3rd Place: $50

dog is well-trained, and also willing to obey you. It also must
be able to jump pretty high and catch the disc a good bit to win.
Money For Winning: 1st Place: $300, 2nd Place: $150, 3rd Place: $100
Master Class
Description: A very difficult competition to get through. Your dog must be
extremely well-trained, and it must also obey anything you tell
it. Must be able to catch the disc pretty good, too. Must be a
significantly high jumper, as well.
Money For Winning: 1st Place: $400, 2nd Place: $300, 3rd Place: $200
Championship Class
Description: The hardest of the competitions, as you already know. This is the
absolute ultimate test for your dog. Your dog must be a master
jumper, and a master at catching the disc. You must not fail in
this competition! Your dog must be extremely obedient, as well as
extremely skilled!
Money For Winning: 1st Place: $600, 2nd Place: $400, 3rd Place: $300

Click "Go Out" via the red arrow at the top left of the screen when you are at
home with your dog to walk it. You can walk as many dogs as you like, but only
one by one. Each time you walk, your dog gets more stamina. At the bottom left
of the screen, there is a yellow bar which indicates how much stamina your dog
has left. You will have to draw a route from your house leading back to your
house with the stylus and that is where your dog will walk. However, you must
be sure to draw the line to the point where your dog doesn't run out of
stamina. When walking, you will also find items and other dogs on the park.
You can sometimes even find rare items (see the Items section for more on
that). You can only walk your dog once every 30 minutes, so keep that in mind
if you are wondering why the game won't let you walk your dog.
