From there, you pet it with the stylus, fill its food and water bowls and give it a bath when it gets dirty. Tricks work the same way: guide the puppy into a pose with the stylus, then say a command such as sit or lie down so it links the word to the move. Over time your dog answers to your voice, which still feels surprising on a handheld from 2005.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:story --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-story\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWalks, contests and Bark Mode\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWalks take you around the neighborhood on a route you draw on a map, and along the way your dog can find presents, meet other dogs and stop at the park. Money comes from contests: the Disc Competition, the Agility Trial and the Obedience Trial each have classes to climb. Winnings buy food, toys and accessories, and owner points unlock more breeds at the kennel. Bark Mode lets nearby DS systems running Nintendogs connect wirelessly so the dogs can meet and play together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:story --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-story\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat to check on a used Nintendogs card\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLook at the label and the gold contacts on the back of the game card. The contacts should be free of corrosion or dark marks, and the card should slide into the DS slot and click in without force. Any save data a previous owner left behind is not part of the listing. Nintendogs relies on the DS microphone and touch screen, so make sure both work on the system you plan to use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:details --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-facts\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct facts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eGame\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNintendogs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePlatform\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNintendo DS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePhysical format\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGame Card\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eGame style\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLife simulation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eRelease\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2005\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePlayers\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePublisher\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNintendo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePre-owned, individual cosmetic condition varies\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBox, manual and accessories\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConfirm individual item contents\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-faq\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this game\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eHow does Nintendogs play on Nintendo DS?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou care for a puppy using the touch screen to pet, feed and play, and the microphone to call its name and give commands.
