Present Grab
A present occasionally passes by on the screen when you take your dog for walk. You must tug on your dog's leash to get it to pick up the gift. These are easy to miss, but you can use a trick to know when one is about to come. If your dog stops on the map on the top screen, but keeps moving on the action screen at the bottom you can expect something to appear that is not marked on the map. This will either be a present or some garbage blowing by.
Easy Trainer Points
You earn Trainer Points in the game at one point per minute spent with your pup. An easy way to earn points is to begin an action with your dog, such as brushing its coat, and let the DS sit while plugged into an electrical outlet. You can leave it on overnight and wake up with hundreds of points. Make sure your DS isn't in sleep mode before you try this trick.
Hungry Fido
This trick doesn't gain you an advantage, but can be a fun effect. Watch for a lightbulb to appear after your dog does a trick. You can touch this lightbulb with your stylus and drag it to your dog. The canine will gobble down the lightbulb. This same trick works when bones appear above your dog.
