Basic Tricks
Sit
Pet the dog's head, then slide it down.
Shake
When the dog is sitting, touch it's paw and lift it. Make sure to use the same paw or they'll get confused. If you hold your dog's paw for too long, it might get angry. If this occurs, give it a treat to calm it down.
Lie Down
Make the dog sit down, and slide its head on the Touch Screen down again.
Roll Over
When the dog is lying down, slide the stylus either to the left or right to make it roll over. The dog will lay on its side; petting the dog's belly in this position can also make it roll over.
Spin
When the dog turns around, touch its tail and hold it until the dog spins either clockwise or counterclockwise.
After doing this multiple times, some dogs may get angry and they'll need a toy or treat in order to continue. This only happens while the dog is learning the trick.
Jump
When your dog turns around and shakes, tap the air to make the dog jump.
Beg
Slide the dog's head up on the Touch Screen and they will do a begging motion.
It takes practice to learn how to do this trick. Some dogs are not loyal enough to do it and will only wobble on their back legs for a short time and look at the ceiling.
Advanced Tricks
Backflip

Rodeo Jump

Howl
Whistle into the microphone, or wait for a firetruck to appear and the dog will automatically howl.
