1) Welcome to Nintendogs 2) Getting your Dog 3) Daily Life 4) Starting and Ending the Game 1) Welcome to Nintendogs Welcome! Your life has began as you can take care up to three puppies. There are many to choose from such as Labrador retriever, Shiba Inu, Toy Poodle and many more! You can choose the gender and color of fur or hair. You can unlock all the dogs in all the versions, but that take hard work. You have to feed them, wash them, walk them, and play with them. So, think your ready? 2) Getting your Dog Now, you think your ready for a dog huh? Well, now's the time to prove it. When you turn on your DS, click the Nintendogs panel. It will start up. Now, after the introduction, buy your dog with your money. You don't have much to start with, so be careful in buying your dog. There are only 5-6 dogs to begin with. You can only buy one at a time. After you buy your dog, name it, and let's just say you name it "Angel", for now it, it will be named Angel. Now that you have your dog, you must train it. 1st you have to call it's name a few times in order to get your dog to know you. Hint: After this name calling, you can just double tap to get the your dog to come to you. Calling its name can take a while; it took me 15 minutes for my dog Benny! Make sure there are no other distractions. Shut of all TV's, radios, close all windows, doors, etc. Now after calling your dog's name, now you have to teach it to sit. Read the instructions the game gives you and say Sit. It will learn over time. Hint: Save RIGHT after ALL of this is done, this way you won't have to do it all over again. To check if your dog is hungry or how dirty it is, click the circle on it's photo that has a ? on it to get it's info. 3) Daily Life Now that you have all that done, now you can have a normal life!
