While walking your dog and he or she seems edgy, give the leash a little tug towards the
way it is walking. The dog will start running. Also, if you want you can give it a tug
while running upwards and it will do a jump.

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.

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.

It may take some time to actually get what you want.

Note that you can only enter three competitions in a day.

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.

While marking out where you want to go on the map, try to get as many question marks as
you can along the way. There are either other dogs or gifts that your dog will find with
each question mark.

Get your dog to sit and hold an ear back. The dog will wave its paw. Do it three or four
times to get the trick.

stylus. This should make the puppy hang on the other end like a rag doll. Drag the rope
around the screen and eventually the dog will fly off.

Have a dog do a trick repeatedly until a message appears. Name the trick, then the dog
will do the trick every so often. Keep teaching it the trick until it does it the first
time you call it. Note: The dog can only do so much training in one day. For more
training, wait until the next day. Additionally, when teaching your dog to fetch, every
time your dog brings back the item from tapping the screen, pet it until the sparkles
appear. Then, take the item and throw it over again. After doing this awhile, your dog
will bring back the item automatically, thus making the contests easier.

On the camera view of your dogs, tap the question mark under the dog's picture. It will
bring up a screen with the dog's information on it, such as name, age, gender, etc. At
the bottom is a button to go to the "Trick List". Tap on a trick, and tap "OK" for the
dog to forget that trick. If you delete the trick by accident, you can re-teach the dog
the same trick, and name it the same.
