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.

Angel? Click yes. If you have 2 or 3, click the dog of choice. 

Next, make a path. At first your path is small. But is you use of all the path points, you get more and 
more and soon enough you'll be able to take walks all around the town!

You might also see ? boxes. Those are surprises such as a dog around town, or a present. 

Hint: If you find a present on the floor while walking, push the leash to the present to get it. Most of the 
time it's useful.
