What Can You Do in Nintendogs (Nintendo DS)?

Nintendogs (2005) is a virtual pet simulator using the DS touchscreen, microphone, and clock. Here's the full loop:

🐾 Core Care (Daily)

• Feed: Dry food, canned food, treats (biscuits, jerky). Affects hunger/weight.
• Water: Fill bowl.
• Brush: Wire brush (short hair), bristle brush (long hair), comb (tangles). Boosts coat shine.
• Bathe: Shower (scrub with soap, rinse), towel dry, blow dry (mic blow).
• Walk: Map route → Encounter dogs (bark/play/fight), find presents (toys, accessories), mark territory, meet neighbors. Pedometer (Walk Meter) = Trainer Points.
• Toilet: Pick up poop (bag icon) on walks/in house. Hygiene affects contests.

🏋️ Training & Tricks

• Voice Commands (Mic): "Sit," "Down," "Stay," "Come," "Spin," "Jump," "Paw," "Roll Over," "Beg," "Backflip," "Dance," "Sing." Consistency = faster learning.
• Touch Training: Drag stylus down (sit), up (beg), circle (spin), etc.
• Disc Competition (Park): Throw frisbee → Dog retrieves. Distance = points. Practice = better catches.
• Agility Trial (Gym): Obstacle course (hurdles, tunnels, seesaw, weave poles). Speed + accuracy. Voice/touch guides.
• Obedience Trial (Contest Hall): Perform 3 tricks on command. Judged on speed/accuracy.

🏠 Customization & Home

• Interior: Themes (Modern, Japanese, Outer Space, etc.), furniture, flooring, walls, music records.
• Dog Appearance: Ribbons, collars, hats, glasses, shirts, costumes (unlocked via Trainer Points).
• Breeds: 18+ per version (Lab, Chihuahua, Dachshund, Shiba, Husky, Pug, etc.). Personality varies (Active, Smart, Friendly, etc.).

🔗 Multiplayer (Local Wireless)

• Bark Mode: Sleep mode + wireless on → Auto-connect with nearby DS → Dogs play, swap presents, leave messages.
• Direct Play: Visit friend's house, walk together, compete in trials.

💡 Progression

Trainer Points → Unlock breeds, interiors, contests, higher disc/agility ranks. Goal: Top Breeder / Champion.
