Linking to unlock new breeds
When linking copies of Nintendogs to unlock new breeds, remember two things. You can only link with another
Nintendo DS system once (and unlock a new breed). The breed unlocked corresponds with your partner's current
pet, and it must be a breed that you do not have in order for it to be unlocked.
Bowser kart
While walking your dog, you may find a Bowser kart in a "?" box. To control the kart, press B to move forward,
A to move backwards, and Left or Right to turn. If the dog(s) hit it, the kart will spin around in place, then
move in the direction you want it to move.
Easy owner points
Play with a disc, ball, etc. Each time your dog gets it, call it over (or tap the screen a few times.). When
he or she comes, pet it on the head for a few seconds. He or she should sparkle, giving you one or two owner
points. This also makes it easier to get the toy back and repeat.
Easy items
Take your dog for a walk and make sure you have another accessory to change into. Try to go in as many "?"
boxes as possible before you go to the park. As soon as you put the line into the park, go directly home. Go
through your walk as normal, getting items, meeting dogs, etc., until you reach the park. Once you get to the
park, go directly to "Accessories". Change your dogs accessories immediately, then tap "Back". The message
"Saving: Don't Turn Off Power" should appear. After it is done saving, turn off the power. Turn it back on,
and you will still have all the items collected, and can go for another walk. Note: You will not get
owner points for this. Also, your dog's stamina will not increase.
Easier training
While teaching your dog to sit, do not say "sit down", just say "sit". By doing this, when you teach it "lay
down", it will not get confused. When teaching it to shake, do not say "shake". Instead, say "shake hands". By
doing this, it will not get sit confused with shake.
More trick and competition opportunities
Your dog can only learn a certain amount of tricks a day, while the same goes for competitions. To get
additional chances at tricks and competitions, change the system date to to the previous day and set the time
to 23:59. Exit the menu and turn off the DS. Immediately turn it back on and load the game. You will see the
previous day and time shown. After one minute it will be an entire new day, allowing more tricks to be taught
and competitions to be won. This can earn you more money if you win the competition. When you want to follow
the normal order of things, just set the date and time back to the correct values.
Getting money
Go on a lot of walks and get as many question marks as possible along the way. Then, go to the second hand
store and sell all the items you do not want or your dog(s) you do not like. Some items are less then a
dollar, but the amount adds up if you continue doing this. Additionally, when going out for walks, it is best
to feed and give your dog water just before you go (if it's hungry or thirsty). By doing this, instead of your
dog finding trash, they will be much more likely to find presents. You will see a white box with red ribbons
around it. Try walking slow because you cannot go backwards. Touch it with the stylus. Your dog will bring it
to you. These items are the ones that are worth more. The tri-color ribbon is worth ten dollars, and the Moai
Statue is worth one hundred dollars.
Mario hat
While walking your dog, find a Red Hat at one of the question marks. Finish walking your dog, put on the Red
Hat (under "Accessories"), and look at your dog; it is a Mario hat.
Mario items
Take your dog for lots of walks and collect as many presents as you can. Eventually you will get a Mario hat,
a Luigi hat, a rubber mushroom and a "?" block (from Super Mario Bros.). While on a walk you may find a
Mario theme music box. You can play the Mario theme song on it by spinning the crank with the stylus.
RC helicopter
While taking your dog for a walk you may find an RC helicopter as one of the presents. Hold A to take off, the
D-Pad to maneuver, and L to change the camera view. Note: They can be sold for $200.
Secret shedding records
If you walk your dog a lot, you will eventually find an item called "Secret Shedding Record". This item plays
strange music when you activate it from the music icon in your supplies menu. There are four records in the
game; these are extremely rare.
Finding items
While walking on the sidewalk, tap the floor and your dog will look and sometimes find an item. Also while
walking your dog, there will be a question mark on almost every walk that is not illustrated on the map. When
you see it on the touch screen take your dogs leash and drag your dog to the present. It will be a present or
garbage that your dog should not eat.
Determining "?" box content
When you find a "?" box during a walk, if you dog barks once it is a present; if it barks twice, it is another
dog. Additionally, if you find a present wait until the dog runs off the screen. If it turns white, it will be
a trainer. If it does not, it is a present.
Trainer information
The name registered in your Nintendo DS will appear as the owner's name, as well as your date of birth. You
can change your picture to their choices of avatar pictures; there are eight choices all together.
Raising more than three dogs
The Dog Hotel will hold up to five dogs at a time. The three that you can raise do not count with the five,
making it possible to raise as many as eight dogs.
Disc training
Go to the park, and keep training your dog until you get a message. Use a frisbee, tennis ball, rub
