Lure Coursing: Lure coursing is a new feature to the Nintendogs series, you compete against 2 other dogs, were you race through a course chasing after a lure. To lure spin the lure handle in a clockwise direction to make it go forward, spin faster to speed up the lure, don’t go to fast though or your dog will lose interest and stop. To make your dog come back press the beeper in the middle or spin your lure backwards (anti clockwise) your dog will then chase after it again. As you level up the courses will get larger and there will be a jump. Your dog may be freighted of this so press the beeper to encourage the dog to jump over then continue with the course. To Train up for this you must go to the gym and buy a lure form the Supply shop.

Walks: Your dog will love to go on walks; they can go many places such as the mountains, seaside, gym, park and even a dog cafe! There is no limit of walks your dogs can do per day, on the walk you may spot a present with a red ribbon on the ground, move your dog over it, they will pick it up and bring it to you. You will meet dogs on walks, you will either make friends or not get on to well, if you make friends they may offer you to come with them somewere such as the cafe or park, you can chose yes or no. Making friends with other dogs and going to the park or gym will make your dog enjoy his/her walk better. Let your dog wee in the bushes NOT on the path, people will tell you off and you will lose trainer points! When your dog poo's on the ground make sure to pick it up, no one likes a messy neighbourhood! Sometimes in the bushes your dog may find a present, if not he/she will either roll around or wee. Often on walks you will see piles of rubbish on the path don’t let your don’t munch on this! Give them nice fresh food at home when they’re hungry. You may also offer your dog a treat on your walk when the little treat icon appears. Sometimes when you go on a walk it may have just rained, leaving puddles on the ground. Make sure your puppy doesn't roll around in it or they will become filthy. Make sure to take your dogs on regular walks to keep them happy and healthy! Also it’s a great way to get presents and trainer points.

Hotel: Dog Hotel, were you drop off, pick up, swap or even donate your pets. They take care of your dogs so you can purchase more dogs or cats for your home. You can only have 3 pets at home so dropping them off at the hotel is ideal to keep more than 3 pets.

Pedometer: Want some great gifts but have to go work or go to school? Well no need to worry with the pedometer! Just chose a dog, open up the pedometer, then close your 3DS console.

Cats: Your cat cannot go on walks or use the pedometer, nor they can enter competitions or learn tricks but they are still great pets! You can pet them, wash them, feed those treats, play with them, and dress them up! Your Cat will not eat the dog food so buying special cat food is a must.
