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.

Beginner's Tricks
These Tricks are in the Beginner's Book of Tricks.

Sit
Click on your pet's head and drag the sursor downwards. Your pet will then sit. Teach it the command.

Lie Down
Tell your pet to sit and then use the same action as you used to learn that trick. Your pet will lie down.

Walk Around
First you need to get your pet to face either side, and then click on it's back. It will walk around in a circle. This trick must be learnt to gain entry to any Talent Shows, as it is needed in the second round.

Advanced Tricks
These tricks are in the Advanced Book of Tricks.

Expert Tricks
These Tricks are in the Expert Book of Tricks. Try to teach your pet these first, so you wn't have the difficulty of getting your pet to perform them lots of times.

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.
