booklet. Keep it in a handy place for easy reference.

When caring for living dogs and cats, the trainer holds ultimate responsibility for their survival and well-being. The
pets in Nintendogs + Cats don’t age and always remain puppies and kittens, unlike real puppies and kittens. If you are
thinking about getting a real pet, be sure to consult with your family about whether you’re ready for that responsibility.

Quick tip!
Is Your Dog Having a Hard Time
Learning Its Name?
Teach Your Puppy to Sit Down
When your puppy understands you, a will appear. If your puppy
doesn’t understand, a will appear. You’ll need to say the name
multiple times before your puppy learns it.
When repeating your dog’s name, be sure to use the same volume
and tone of voice. Aer saying your dog’s name multiple times, you
may accidentally find yourself leaning closer to the microphone than
recommended, speaking too loudly, or changing your tone. Keep these
tips in mind when you are teaching your dog its name:
• Make sure you are about 6 inches away from the microphone.
• Use your normal speaking volume.
• Use the same name every time. Don’t use nicknames or draw out the
last syllable of the name.
• Pronounce the name clearly from start to end.
• Until your puppy has learned its name, don’t hand your game to another
player once you’ve started.
Aer you bond with your puppy by calling its name and petting it, you’ll be able
to start teaching it tricks. Training your pup to do tricks is a fun and rewarding
activity you can do together.
How to Teach Your Puppy to Sit Down
When your dog is able to start learning tricks, you’ll be
prompted with a sequence that will show you how to
teach it to sit down. Read the instructions on the screen
and then say “sit down,” repeating it as many times as
necessary until your dog learns the command. You can
read the instructions by tapping Help. One thing to keep
in mind: when teaching voice commands, avoid long
pauses between words as this can confuse your puppy.
Help
Aer your puppy has learned how to sit down, you’ll
be able to view tutorials on a variety of other tricks by
tapping Tricks on your puppy’s status screen (see page 21).
