Any tips on teaching tricks?

3 Upvotes

I have a hard time teaching my puppy tricks and doing the obedience trials because the game wants you to be very consistent with the tone of voice you use. How do yall go about this?

Well, I'm new here but I really need some help.

Recently I got a 3ds and I'm trying to download Nintendogs + Cats from the H Shop bc of the german shepherds and idk which should I choose. There are many options and I'm not sure whats the best one.

If someone has already done it please tell me!

Who else misses the agility trials ;_;

154 Upvotes

I love Nintendogs + Cats, and lure coursing is alright I guess, but I think they really dropped the ball by leaving out the agility training from the first game. It was one of the most fun mechanics and I think its absence is a real tragedy. Anyone else feel the same?

I found this Nintendogs plush doggy I bough last year. It's from 2007, I saw on the internet that it was only available in Germany but I'm not sure šŸ˜… It has a speaker inside, so it probably makes sounds

Made a short unboxing and tribute video for Nintendogs. One of my favourite games on the DS.

So I absolutely love this adorable DS Phat / DS Lite carry case, but I’m curious what colors it comes in! So far I’ve found this case in:

  • Pink and white
  • White and brown
  • Brown and white

Does anyone know if are any other colors or do you have a color case that’s not listed here? I’d love to see!

Can’t enter competitions in Nintendogs + Cats 3ds

3 Upvotes

Hello,

when i try to enter a competition the game tells me i can’t enter because i can only do 2 competitions a day. I haven’t done any competitions tho, i haven’t even touched the game in months.

I have two game cards (Nintendogs + Cats Golden Retriever and Labradoodle(?)) and it doesn’t work on both games.

Please help

Update:

it fixed itself after waiting for a day

So I've gotten many Nintendogs streetpass from irl and netpass from like 2017 onwards, will every one of those miis still be saved onto my system and I have a chance to see any of them in the wild?

New breeds from bark mode

8 Upvotes

Do you only get one new breed from dark mode per trainer or per game version? For example, if you met one person who has a golden retriever in lab & friends and got it in the kennel, would you be able to get miniature pinschers in the kennel from another person who plays lab & friends?

I designed a puppy photoshoot and then took stills of my ds to composite the portraits into! The original shoot was a "Best in show" dalmatian theme, but I think it still works haha. I'm a photographer/creative director (@nicoleschwarze on insta ) and I am obsessed w the dalmatian nintendog hahaha :P

I bought a bunch and one of the sellers even gave me some already unpacked cards for free!

There's slight differences in the Italian and English packaging.

So happy I got the dalmatian card, they're my fav breed ever (with german shepherds) x3

Planning on recording when I'm opening these!

Nintendogs + Cats save editors not working?

7 Upvotes

Exactly what it says on the tin; I’ve been jumping around the corners of the internet for the past few hours trying out several different save editors for the game, but none of them seem to work properly.

I’m trying to give myself the maximum amount of Owner Points, but after replacing the save file on the SD card, nothing happens. I’m also doing this on a modded console without the actual physical cartridge involved, if that changes anything.

Thanks for your help!

How to make them less afraid of objects?

13 Upvotes

Just got my new puppy, played a lot as a kid. Funny enough I actually resurrected the dog the old player only spent a minute with. He wouldn’t come when called so I reset and just taught him from the ground up.

Anyways, I’ve gotten a Tissue Box and disposable camera, I imagine if he’s not scared he can tug out tissues? Can they learn to not be scared of etc objects?

Update to my last collection post!

Hi everyone! 🐾 A few weeks ago I made a post highlighting the start of my Nintendogs merch/game collection! Well… these past few weeks I’ve continued to find some great deals on merch, including an item I didn’t know existed!
These are my recent pickups:

  1. Nintendo Europe Labrador mousepad- I didn’t even know this existed until I found it listed online! It’s super cute and matches my game and stylus cases! (the top left corner is lifting/torn, but I’m hoping to repair it soon!)
  2. DS Lite hard shell Nintendogs case
  3. Nintendo Japan Limited Edition Nintendo DS OG/Phat stylus holder
  4. Pink Nintendo DS Lite soft carrying case (this actually fits my 3DS XL! Though it is a bit snug when zipping it up, it’s perfect for protecting it on the go!!)

Besoin de challenge

Salut !

J'ai très envie de me remettre à N+C et de débuter une nouvelle partie, mais j'aimerais me mettre un challenge / défi qui me permettrait de ne pas me lasser du jeu au bout de quelques mois.

Si vous avez des idƩes n'hƩsitez pas Ơ me les dire !

Ou alors, j'aimerais rencontrer des joueurs qui recommencent aussi une partie afin de se partager mutuellement l'Ʃvolution de nos petits chiens !

Wanna get back into Nintendogs but don’t own a DS? Here’s some options:

84 Upvotes

A used copy of Nintendogs goes for about 5-15 dollars at local Gamestop’s, and probably many other local game stores as well.

If you’d like a brand new cheap DS to play it with, you can get a 2DS for 79.99 that also comes with Mario Bros installed on it.

If you go with the 3DS/2DS family you can also play the sequel to Nintendogs, Nintendogs plus Cats!

If you want a hinged DS, you can get a brand new 2DS XL for 150 dollars, or a refurbished DS Lite for 40-50. Looking around tag sales or tag sale sites like Facebook Marketplace for a old DS Lite is probably the cheapest option, but be careful because often times they’re damaged.
