Nintendogs: Chihuahua & Friends Cheats For DS

  1. Eat the lightbulb!

    When your dog is learning a command, ex:lay down,roll over. A lightbulb icon appears in the top right corner of the screen. Click on the light bulb and record your command. If the dog accepts the command, a sketchy like lightbulb appears over their adorable little head. Grab the lightbulb with your stylus then drag it to the dogs mouth. And they will EAT THE LIGHTBULB like a treat! This also works with bone icons too.

  2. Easy way to find hidden presents

    When going on a walk, watch the top screen. When the dog icon stops moving, there is a hidden present coming up shortly. Be cautious, however, as this is also true when garbage is coming up, or your pup simply stops by itself.

  3. Get unlockable breeds easier.

    Do Bark Mode with a dog in a breed that you don't have.


    Example: Do Bark Mode with a Shih Tzu and after you do Bark Mode with that dog, you will be able to buy the Shih Tzu breed at the kennel.

    NOTE: This only works the first time with each different version of the game. So you can do this trick one time with Labrador & Friends, Dachshund & Friends, and any other version of Nintendogs.

Nintendogs: Dachshund & Friends Cheats For DS

  1. Eat A Lightbulb

    When your dog performs a trick in the game a lightbulb will appear. Click and drag this lightbulb to your dog and he will eat it. You can also eat bones that appear above your dog as well.

  2. Easy way to prevent yourself from passing un-marked ?-Boxes on walks

    Sometimes when you're on a walk, you'll notice a present go across the screen at seemingly random times, and there's a chance you won't get it because you weren't paying attention. To prevent this, simply watch the map on the upper screen.

    Whenever your dog stops moving on the map, it will either stop to go to the bathroom, or sniff at a spot it previously went to the bathroom at. However, sometimes the dog will not stop on the lower screen, which means that something that isn't marked on the map is about to appear. It will either be some garbage, or an unmarked ?-Box is about to appear.

    Basically, if the dog stops moving on the map, but is still moving on the touch-screen, get ready to tug at the dog's leash so that you can pick it up.

Nintendogs: Lab & Friends Cheats For DS

  1. Eating bone and lightbulb.

    When training your dog occasionally an outline of a bone will appear on the screen, you can feed this to your dog by dragging it to its mouth, you can do the same with the light bulbs that appear above your dogs head when your teaching them new tricks.

  2. Find out if there is garbage or a present on the floor during a walk

    To find out if garbage or a present is approaching during one of your walks, look at the top screen. There should be the little dog symbol on the path that you drew. If that dog symbol stops and your dog is still walking, this indicates that either garbage or a present is coming up on the floor. If it is a present, tug your dog to a stop and your dog will notice it. It will pick it up and bring it over to you. It is easier to do this when your dog is running.

  3. Take a walk anytime!

    When going for a walk, go to the park. When you go to the park, change your dog's accessory to anything. The game saves it. When it does, turn off. Start again, and you will be able to go for another walk.

    N.B. This is most useful if you keep going through the question marks.
