Basic Tricks
Sit
Pet the dog's head, then slide it down.
Shake
When the dog is sitting, touch its 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
Tell the dog to sit, then tell it to jump. (Do not pet your dog once he sits, or he will perform them as separate tricks)
Frontflip
Tell your dog to roll over, then tell it to jump.
Rodeo Jump
When your dog is doing the breakdance trick, tell it to frontflip.
Howl
Whistle into the microphone, or wait for a firetruck or a dog barking from outside to sound off and the dog will automatically howl.
Break dance
Tell the dog to roll over for 1 second, then spin.
Stand
Command the dog to beg, then lift its paw up into the air. When it gets to the top of the bottom screen, let it go.
Handstand
Tell the dog to lie down and beg.
Sneeze
Tap the dog's nose. Ah, Ah, ACHOOO!
