Nintendogs Home "Completion": No Deadline, Only Your Vision

There is no "finish" time for your Nintendogs home. The game has no ending, no completion metric for the house. You decide when it's done.

What "Done" Can Look Like (If You Want Milestones)

• All Rooms Unlocked: 3 expansions (Living Room → Kitchen → Bedroom → Garden) — requires Owner Points (walk, contest, care). ~2–4 weeks casual.
• All Furniture Collected: 100+ items (shop, walks, presents, recycling). Completionist: 3–6 months.
• Perfect Layout: Every item placed aesthetically. Subjective — endless.
• Dog's Happiness Maxed: All needs full, all tricks learned, all contests won (Gold trophies).

How to "Finish" (Reach Your Goal)

1. Set a personal goal (e.g., "Gold in all 3 contests," "Collect all 50 collars," "Design a Japanese garden").
2. Daily routine: Walk (30 min) → Contest (1) → Care (feed, wash, pet) → Shop/Recycle.
3. Use item checklists to track furniture.
4. When goal met → screenshot → share → new goal.

Remember: Nintendogs is a toy, not a task. The "finish line" is whenever you put the DS down smiling.
