Dogz and Catz/Tricks

Teaching your pet Tricks are essential if you want to enter them into Competitions. When you first get your puppy, you will have the Beginner's Book of Tricks in My Stuff, but there are also three other trick books you can buy from the Store.

Tricks are done by clicking or dragging the mouse over a certain part of your pet. After it has performed the action, a button will appear in the centre of the screen. Click it, and you will say the word for the trick it is doing. Then you need to give your pet a treat. If you don't have any, give it love instead. For the first trick you try, it will take your pet one go to learn it. The second trick needs two goes, the third needs three, and so on. Because of this, it is easier to teach your pet the hardest tricks first.

Some Tricks (such as Walk Around) require your pet to be standing sideways. To get your pet to turn left or right, click and drag the curser along it's head in the direction you want it to turn. Do this again if you want it to stand facing away from you.

Secret Tricks
The Tricks in the Secret Book of Tricks require you to use tricks you've already learnt to get them to perform another one. Your pet cannot actually "learn" these tricks however; you just need to remember the right order to command the tricks to your pet.

Play Dead
Command your pet to Roll Over, and then while it is doing that command it to Lie Down. Your pet will then lie on it's side and play dead!

Wave Paw
Command your dog to Give Paw and then Shake while it is doing this. Your pet will then wave it's paw up and down, as if it were waving at you.

Backflip
First command your pet to Stand High and then Jump. Your pet will then do a backflip! However, since the two commands used for this trick are the hardest ones for your pet to do, they may not be able to do it very often.

Bow
Command your pet to Beg and then to Nod. Your pet will then take a bow. Perfect to end any show.
