DS | Submitted by jessGet More Dogs
Don't spend all that time trying to earn trainer points! Instead, if you have a friend that has the dog you want on his/her game and you do bark mode with each other and the friend brings that dog, when you exit out of bark mode you will have that breed in the kennel! This works for any dog.

When you go to Bark Mode with a friend that brings a dog breed you don't have in you're kennal, you will unlock it when you get home. But if you try this again with the same friend, it will not work. (Hint: If your friend starts his/her game over, you have a 97% chance of making it work.)

If you want faster walks all you have to do is when your dog walks at the back of your screen tug on the leash and your dog will start running!
But you have to keep the leash at the edge of your screen or your dog will stop running. And it's a lot faster to pass the presents sitting on the ground, so you have to make sure that you look at the bottom of your screen or you might miss a present!

DS | Submitted by Latina NinaShort Baths
All you have to do for this cheat, is this: go to supplies and find your dog shampoo. Then, when you're at the screen where you wash your dog, sponge your dog with the sponge. After you've finished shampooing your dog so that it's covered in bubbles (but don't wash your dog until the showerhead is blinking), use the showerhead to wash most (but not all) of the bubbles off your dog. Then, go back to the sponge and sponge your dog. It shouldn't take you that long to wash you dog off like you just sponged your dog until the showerhead is blinking. This saves you some time. After you've washed your dog, be sure to brush your dogs coat!

DS | Submitted by lainGet a Mario Kart
There's an item you can find on your walks that is a toy version of a racing kart from Mario Kart 64, it'll be in your Toys section and you can actually drive it. Three things about the racing karts:
1. You can't bump into your dog, otherwise, afterawhile, it'll hate it,
2. it has the same controls as the real Mario kart, "A" to go forward "B" to go back, and the D-Pad (in this case) to move it around
3. you can use the R and L buttons to sitch from the view of the room to right behind the cart. If you want to give your pup a workout, drive the kart around the border of the room, and you'll have your dog running in circles.
Note: As far as I know there's the Peach Kart, Bowser Kart, and Mario Kart in toy form in this game.

DS | Submitted by lainFrizbee Tips
If you've trained your dog with one frizbee, for a long time, make sure you have toys that aren't the same color as the frizbee. The reason is that if you've trained it with a red frizbee and throw a red rubber bone in your house or in the park, just to relieve it's stress, it'll pick it up and give it to you. The other thing is that you have to keep training it with one frizbee, otherwise it'll just forget its training with the last frizbee. If you've trained it well it'll always bring the frizbee back.

DS | Submitted by CrystalAn Easy Way To Get Trainer Points
The only items you need to get extra trainer points are a brush and your dog. First wash your dog. If your dog is already washed or clean then don't. Secondly, get the wire brush or rubber brush and brush your dog. But don't move the brush around like your brushing it. Just place it onto the dog middle. Plug your charger in because otherwise u will use all of your power in a couple of hours. Just wait for 1-24 hours and every minutes you will get 3 trainer points. So in 8 hours (While you sleep) you will have around 700 trainer points.
