Getting money
Go on a lot of walks, getting as many question marks
as you can along the way. Then, go to the second hand store and
sell all the items you do not want or your dog(s) do not like.
Some items are less then a dollar, but the amount adds up if you
keep doing this.
When out on walks, it is best to feed and water your dog just
before you go (if its hungry or thirsty). By doing this, instead
of 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.
If you own five dogs and they are all in Championship Agility
trials, if you win first place you will get $12,000 and 1,200
trainer points.

When you are on a walk you can find a Marine, Clover,
and Marble Clock. The Clover Clock brings good luck.

During the day if you hear a fire engine siren, take
your dog out for a walk and get as many "?" boxes as

"Fireman's Hat". Once you get this item you will then
get Dalmatians at the kennel. You can also borrow the Fireman's
Hat from a friend that has Nintentogs: Dalmatian And Friends.

to you, you will also receive Dalmatians at the kennel. Note:
You can repeat this with as many friends as desired.

with it. Note: The parrot will repeat your recorded message very
fast, so say it slowly.

Easy presents
The more you stroke and pet your dog before a walk, the more presents you will receive at the blue "?" marks.
When walking your dog, look at the top screen. If the little picture of your dog remains still but the dog on the bottom screen is still walking, it indicates that either garbage or a present is coming up. If it is garbage, pull the dog away from it and do not let it eat it. If it is a present, tap your dog repeatedly and it might run to get it. These presents are usually rarer and better than those found at "?" squares.
While on a walk, you will find blue circles around the map. When you run into a "?" mark, if the circles starts to blink dark blue, it is a dog. If not, it is a present.
Almost all of the time while on a walk, when you get a "?", use the following indicators to tell if it is a present. If your dog goes to the bathroom before a "?", it is most likely a dog. If it does not, then it is most likely a present. If your dog barks once while finding a "?", then it is a present. If its barks twice while finding a "?", then it is another dog.
When you take your dog for a walk, you can tell if your going to see a dog or not by looking at the blue dot where it went to the bathroom. If it is blinking, then you have found a dog.
While you are walking, to tell if you are going to meet a dog or get a present at a "?" box, listen to the music. If it fades you will get a present. If it does not, you are going
to meet a dog.
When you are out for a walk, you might see a present lying on the ground ( not when you are on a "?" with a present). Stop your dog by tugging its leash and make it see the present. It will get it, and you have an extra present.
On a walk you can find trash and presents on the sidewalk. Use the following trick to know when they appear. Take your dog on a walk. Watch the upper and lower screens at the same time. When you see your dog running on the bottom and stopping on the top it indicates that either trash or a present is near.
Finding rare presents
If you can take your dog for a long enough walk, try
to pass all the "?"s in the corners on the screen. The
farther the item is away from your house, the more likely it will
be be something you do not normally find.
Use the following trick to have your dog run away and bring you
back a rare present. First, get your dog in very good condition.
Then, leave your game on without playing it for about one hour.
Your dog should run away and bring you back a present if it is
in good condition.
Set your birthday to the date on the information screen. Then,
go out for a walk and try to go through all of the "?"
marks that are closest to your house.
To have your dog get you better presents, get him in a good mood
by feeding, washing, brushing, or playing with him or her. Take
your dog on a walk. Try to get as many presents as possible. Go
to the park on the right side of your walking trail. Next, take
your dog farther down and get more question marks then take him
or her to the next park. Make sure to change your dog's hat or
collar to save the game. Then turn off the game and turn it back
on. You will find that your dog is wearing what you put on him
in the last park, and it will have saved all your items from the
walk.
Usually when you go to one of the corner "?" marks,
you will get a good item. If you do not, you may find a present
on the ground. It might be good. Make sure to feed, wash, and
groom your dogs for better items.
Finding items
When you are walking on the sidewalk, tap the floor and your dog will look and sometimes find an item.
When you walk your dog there are "?" marks where you can find presents and other dogs. Once during almost every walk, there is one 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.
To easily get your dog to pick up unmarked gifts, while walking your dog, hold the leash over its body. If you happen to come across an unmarked gift, quickly drag the stylus up to the top
of the screen. This works even if your dog is walking instead of running.
When on a walk, items are not always on a question mark. They can be laying on the ground. Your dog will not stop. To get the item, you must turn around and get it. Note: Most of the time
better items are far away from your house.
When on a walk, the tiny brown puppy on the map will show you where you and your pup are located. When the dog freezes while your pup is still walking or running, slow down. There is either trash or a present lying on the street somewhere.
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.
When walking your dog, 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 walking your dog, watch the top screen and the dog icon.
If the small dog icon starts walking in place while your dog is
still walking forward on the bottom screen, one of two things
is about to happen. Either there is a pile of garbage on the path
ahead or there is a hidden gift on the path ahead. The dog icon
will only stop for about five seconds; make sure to watch it carefully.
Other treats
When a bone or light bulb appears when you are training
your dog, use the stylus to drag it over its mouth. Your dog will
eat it.
While interacting with your dog at home, if you give it enough
love by petting and scratching it, a golden dog bone of light
will appear. You can give it to your dog as a bonus treat.
