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.

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.

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.

Mark out the path on your map, ending it at the house. If your last few steps ends at the
house, wait 25 minutes, then your dog can go slighter further on the next walk. Note: Make
sure to give your dog water after each walk.

Get 10,000 owner points to unlock the Boxer breed at the kennel.

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

In certain classes of competitions, if you get below a certain score you will drop a
class.

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.

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.
