Dog's Life/Farmhouse

From StrategyWiki, the video game walkthrough and strategy guide wiki

This is the first level, and Jake will be standing in front of the dog cage after watching the cutscene, where Daisy was dog napped. Jake will take a few steps forward, and then a boy with a green top will run over and tell Jake he's going to race him to the top of the hill. Then, a tutorial will come up saying that the pillar of light in SOV means the boy is carrying a bone. Then, it will go out of SOV, and another tutorial will come up telling you how to move Jake and make him jump. By the time you have gone out of both tutorials, the boy will already be halfway up the hill, so however good you are at the game, you will not be able to catch him. Run up the hill after him, and press Circle button to talk to him. He will tell you he has beaten you fair and square (although it wasn't actually fair)and will ask you if you want to play another game. Jake will reply; 'are you kidding? Does a dog poo in the woods' and the boy will run off and tell you to follow him. He will stop three times, encouraging Jake to follow him some more, and on the forth time, he will start talking to you. He will say that you could practice your racing skills with Lopez the local Chihuahua, and that he is going to see gramps, an old man who lives near the roads leading to the Watermill, the Big Field and the Village Houses. The boy will then drop a bone. When you eat it, a tutorial will come up telling you about what bones are for.

There are eight green scents leading round the back of the farmhouse from the left side. The green scents also go behind the barn, and when you have collected all of them, Jake and Lopez will appear on the lawn in front of the farmhouse, with a trail of dog treats in front of them. A tutorial will come up telling you how to do the race, and then it will start. the race goes round the back of the farmhouse and the barn, loop around a tree and go into the horse paddock, and the finishing line is just after part of the fence where you can either jump over or go underneath it. If you collected at least forty or so of the dog treats and beat Lopez to the finishing line, Jake and her will appear back on the lawn again. First Lopez will bark, then Jake, and you will have control of Lopez. While in control of her, go up to the door of the house, and through the cat flap. Inside, you will find a very empty room, with only a bone in it. Pick up the bone, and Lopez will automatically take it to Jake. She will drop it (or more like throw it) on the floor, and then you can eat it.

When you approach the ball infront of the barn, next to the pile of logs, Jake will say; 'Must... play... with ball.' Pick the ball up, and stant roughly where the dust road and the grass meet infront of the hoop. Throw the ball, and if you have aimed it correctly, it will go in, and Jake will say something good about it. If you miss, he will say things like; 'Oh, brother, I need to practice,' or 'Let's face it, I suck big time.' Get the ball through the hoop three times (doesn't have to be three in a row) and a bone will fall down like magic. Then, try to pick up the bone without picking up the ball instead!

Go inside the barn, via either the door or through the window. Then, grab the handle of the second largest hay bale. first pull it towards the wall without any windows on it, then pull it towards the wall with the open window on it. The open window is next to the basketball hoop. Stop when you have pulled the bale of hay inbetween the other two. then, jump onto the smallest one, then the one you were just pulling along, and then onto the biggest hay bale. The biggest bale of hay doesn't have any handles, so you can't move it when on the ground. Be sure to go into SOV when on the largest bale, because there is a purple scent. If this was the first purple scent you collected, a tutorial will come up telling you that there are fifty purple scents in every level. Quit the tutorial, and jump up onto the ledge, and you will find a bone. Eat it, then jump out the small window that you may or may not have noticed from the ground.
