Nintendogs DS: Why You Can't Have Two Dogs & Fastest Money-Making Methods

Hard limit: Nintendogs allows only one dog per save file (3 save slots = 3 dogs max). You cannot buy/adopt a second dog on the same file — the "Go Out" → "Kennel" option only lets you swap which dog is active.

Maximizing Money (For Toys, Food, Decor, Donations)

Method	Earnings	Tips
Walks (Daily)	§100–§500+	Longer route = more $. Blue "?" = gifts (sell). Red "!" = trash (avoid). Use "Pull" leash for straight line.
Disc Competition (Lure Coursing)	§500–§2,000 (1st)	Train "Disc" daily. Boost Speed/Stamina. Win Amateur → Pro → Champion.
Agility Trial (Obstacle Course)	§500–§2,000	Train "Agility". Touch obstacles accurately. Speed matters.
Obedience Trial	§500–§2,000	Train tricks (Sit, Spin, Jump, Backflip). Voice clarity + consistency.
Sell Found Items	§10–§500/item	Boomerang, Piggy Bank, Mario Hat, Lucky Collar = high value. Sell at Secondhand Shop.
Bark Mode (StreetPass)	§100–§300 + items	Pass other players. Rare items possible.

Pro Tips

Feed Dry Food (cheap) + Milk (fills hunger fast).
Brush daily → coat shine → better contest scores.
Donate to Firefighter → unlocks Dalmatian (new save slot).
Use "Dog Hotel" (wireless) to earn § while away (friends' dogs).

If You Want Another Breed

Save current progress (don't overwrite).
Start New Game in empty slot.
Choose different breed.
Each save = independent dog + house + money.

Max 3 dogs total (one per slot). No way to merge, walk together, or play simultaneously.
