haha TMW my chihuahua is named Woofus!

*im not excited, there really is an exclamation point after his name

[Toruresu]

LOL

This game is so much fun...I also have a Siberian Husky named Wolfie, it rocks!

How do you clean the poop? I tried going back but I couldn't...

[decoyman]

I've just tapped the poo right after he's done, and that's seemed to work fine

I never thought I'd find such satisfaction from cleaning up after my dog.

[TMW]

Well,  of course!  

This way you don't actually have to touch or smell it.

Its the way cleaning dog poop should be!  

[Toruresu]

Man...I'm hooked. I bought both AWS and Nintendogs this morning, and I already spent lunch break on Nintendogs, I haven't even open AWS.

-Thanks, I tapped it on the next walk and it worked : )

For any Naruto fans out there do not name your dog Akamaru, either my dog is a bit unruly or it just isn't hearing me well.

Must get Advance Wars, the place i went to get nintendogs didn't have it, and other places said that they didn't get it yet or they haven't entered them into the computers! <--WTF, lazy bums!

Oh and i just saw both Nintendog commercials, the one with the girl is okay, but the one with that boy is scary.  Makes me cringe inside.

For people who visit GAF, it seems Drinky Crow has been basically owned by MTV...

[mantidor]

The Gamespy review seems flawed, they basically said the game doesnt last long, but all Ive read around the interweb is that theres a whole lot of things to get, I even saw a Luigi hat in the Penny Arcade forums ( now I want this game and I hate dogs! )

[Bloodworth]

The game lasts as long as your interest.  It would take months to unlock everything.

Most likely it's unruly.  It pays to read the descriptions when you buy your dog.  Spend a LOT of time with it, and it might warm up to you.

I have given Jawmbi the task of learning tricks through military commands.

"Squat" - Sit
"Prone" - Lie down
"Stimpack" - Spin
"MEDIC!" - Lie on side
"Tactical" - Roll over
"Chaff" - Sneeze.

This is sorta fun.

I name this dog 'Thumper'

HAHAHA















and yes, its a photoshop, there is no Hot Buscuit Mod, but its still funny, think back to the E3 conference and what was goping on during the Nintendogs presentation

[Toruresu]

LOL Very funny pic.

Question: How do you teach voice commands to your dog? I already thought him 'Sit' (the first command and it was in the tutorial mode when you first start), but now, I say other commands, the bulb lights up (he understood) but It won't let me name the command. What am I doing wrong?

Also, sometimes when I'm playing with him, a bone (?) lights up below the dog. What does that do?

[Pale]

I just wanted to say that at conventions, bark mode is freaking awesome.

Basically, I got around 20 new friends plus several new breeds and home decor options just by carrying it around at PAX.  Once it finds a dog, it remembers that dog until you open your DS again.  Then you get to see the other persons dog and check their stats.  When your dog returns home, you add the other trainer to your friends list and possibly unlock something.  I gave away my white rubber bone on accident the first time I did it...  I received a lot of garbage from people's dogs, but right at the end, one brough me a red rubber bone, so that was cool.  

Every time I saw a dog that I couldn't purchase, when I returned it said the kennel got a new batch of puppies in, so thats cool.

You have to keep repeating the command several times until he learns it.  Some commands take longer than others, and it helps to use a consistent tone of voice and avoid commands that sound like other commands.  Drag either the light bulb or the bone to the dog's mouth to give it a treat and reinforce the command you just gave it.

I called my pup Jean, I named him after a local crack head that always looks for crack rocks on the side of the curb on his bicycle at the middle of the night.
