Product Details
Description:
Players purchase one of several breeds available at the beginning, then start spending time with their pup. They throw flying discs and balls to improve the pup's agility, bathe it when it gets dirty and use their own personal voice commands to train the dog to do tricks. If players train it well enough, they will excel in obedience and agility trials and disc competitions, which will earn money that they can use to buy other supplies and puppy breeds. When players earn enough cash, they can buy even more puppies to live with their original pup.Players can socialize their pups by walking them around the town, where they will meet neighborhood dogs, and maybe even find new toys. Trips to the park and gym offer valuable training time to prepare for agility trials and disc competitions. Over time, the pup's stamina will increase so players can explore farther and farther. Players also can interact wirelessly with their friends' Nintendogs - they can set their DS to bark whenever another puppy is within wireless range.

Best game ever
Strengths: Does everything a real dog does but with the improvement of an off button for when you want your dog to shut up.
Weakness: It's too good!
This game is awesome. Show it to anyone and their hearts will melt. It does everything a real dog can. You can: feed them, wash them, walk them, compete them, dress them, play with them, sing to them, scare them, train them, give them a new apartment to play in, take them to the park and loads more!

To quote my child: "I want to like...
Strengths: Amazing graphics & realistic sounds.
Weakness: Not as "intuitive" to play as you'd like. Can frustrate a child.
To quote my child: "I want to like this game, but it is hard to play". There is more of a learning curve than what I would like for a children's game.

I have a question
Strengths: idk
Weakness: idk
I heard that you can scare the dog, but i was just wondering: is that the only bad thing you can do? can you abuse the dog, or even discipline it? will the dog get mad at you and attack? I need to know. i know you can hit it if it jumps on you, but i don't know anything else.

You can take the dogs to a lot of places (park,gym,contests,etc.)You can earn money in the contests, and with the money you can buy a lot of things for your dog (toys,food,accesories,etc.)You can do ANYTHING YOU WANT!
