Notice

Nintendogs is an interactive entertainment experience centered on puppies. In the uniquely imaginative world of Nintendogs, the young dogs do not age, always remaining puppies. They boast docile habits and personalities, and are easy to handle.

However, since real puppies are living things, they have habits and personalities that may be different from those of the Nintendogs, so when training and caring for a real puppy, please be sure to be understanding of the real puppy’s habits and personality.

When caring for living dogs, the trainer holds ultimate responsibility for the survival and well-being of the dog, so be sure to consult with your family before raising a real dog.

Starting a New Life With Your Puppy

Insert the Nintendogs Game Card into your Nintendo DS and press the POWER button. When the Nintendo DS start-up screen appears, touch the screen. On the system menu, touch the Nintendogs panel to begin your new life with a puppy.

If your Nintendo DS power-on settings have been set to Auto Mode, you will not need to take all of the steps above. See your Nintendo DS instruction booklet for more details.

Saving Your Nintendogs

Touch the icon on the home screen (pg. 16) to create a save file—touch this icon wherever you want to save everything you experience and teach your puppy. If you’ve already created a save file, you will begin with that file already loaded.

If you ever want to erase all of your puppies and saved data, press and hold all at the same time.

But beware: if you erase all saved data, it and your puppies can never be recovered.

The Kennel

Naming Your Puppy

Your new life with a puppy first begins at the kennel, where you will choose and purchase your first puppy. You can also spend time at the kennel playing with puppies that have already been trained. After you’ve purchased your first puppy, you can visit the kennel anytime by choosing the kennel from the Shopping menu (pg. 24). The kennel may add new breeds to its selection, so be sure to check back regularly to see what puppies are available.

Buy

Touch the breed of puppy that you would like to purchase.

The initial available breeds are different in each of the three versions of Nintendogs.

Use the stylus to scroll through the list of available breeds.

Look

Touch the puppy you’d like to buy.

Here you can play with puppies that have already been trained.

You can keep up to three dogs in your home.

After you bring your new puppy home from the kennel, follow the on-screen instructions to name your puppy using your own voice and text.

It is important to hold the Nintendo DS about six inches from your face and say the name clearly into the microphone. If you pronounce the name the same way each time, your puppy will understand it better.

Lulu!

Once your puppy learns its new name, you’ll use the Touch Screen to register the name in text. Touch to register the name.
