Nintendogs help please

[melk]

DD just got a new Nintendogs game. She named it and it responds to her name but the book says she can't do anything with it until she trains it to sit. How do you do this? The training icon doesn't come up or anything and we are at wits end trying to get this thing to respond!!! Thanks!!!

I had the same problem! I kept trying to make it sit, and it would forget its name. It will sit on its own. Then the icon will appear, and say sit. You have to do it a couple of times. Just have her call it, pet it, stuff like that, and it will sit. Hope I helped!!

My DS, is giving me these instructions...

With the stylus, pet the dogs head then quickly pull the tip of the stylus down toward the nose. In the top left corner a "thought bubble" or "comic speech" box thing should appear. Touch that and say "Sit". If the dog is learning, a lightbulb will appear above it's head. Repeat until you get a message that your dog has learned to sit. (You can also touch the lightbulb and feed it to your dog as a reinforcement.)

Or, he says go to - home, then to -supplies, then to - care and scroll down until you see books. Touch the book called "Training", and it contains the instructions on how to train your dog.

In your inventory screen you should have a book on training that will give you a step by step instructions on it. Pretty much you have to move the stylus in a certain way to get it to sit, an icon will come up and you hit that, and then you say "sit" into the microphone clearly (don't get too close to the microphone though or the puppy will not understand). You will need to do this a few times for the puppy to learn it.

We never did get my son's Nintendogs to work. The dog would keep forgetting it's name, and wouldn't respond to the "sit" command (so we could never move on to anything else). We tried for over a week unsuccessfully, and also had DS's friend (who has used Nintendogs successfully) try it with the same results, and finally ended up returning it. I can only assume we may have had a faulty one?

DD10 says that after the dog has learned its name to teach it how to sit she touches the puppies head and quickly moves the stylus to the bottom of the screen. Then she moves the stylus to the speach bubble and says sit. In the speach bubble you will get a light bulb, red question mark or blue question mark. The red question mark means it did not understand you and the blue one means it has mistaken the command for a different one. The light bulb means the dog understood. It may take a few times. Some dogs are slower than others.

pet the head, then quickly pull down towards the tail. The "training maual" in your inventory should help. Also, google training methods and such. I now have sneezing-on-command, backflipping, break dancing dogs.

Sometimes it takes a looooong time to get them to learn new stuff, but when they do it is really a fun....uh...game? It is really fun to do agility with them...or...uh so my DS tells me.....LOL!

Nintendogs are my favorite! They're perfect little puppies, and the best part is a bag magically appears to dispose of their mess. I gave my DD Nintendogs, so that she'd stop bugging me about getting the real thing! She got bored taking the dog for a walk anyway. Now I'm the one with the responsibility. Isn't that always the way.

DD has that and I still remember countless hours just yelling at the thing...I actually enjoyed playing with it though

Now that is funny - good thing you got the electronic version!
