On the PlayStation 2 version, there are separate buttons for each action, unlike on the Wii version, which only uses the 
. Because of this, certain gameplay mechanics are easier on the PS2, such as sniffing around other dogs (sniffing and talking both use the 
button) and moving around inside buildings where the 
can get trapped off screen on the Wii when you are trying to get to far walls. However, one advantage of the Wii version, is that your dog automatically dashes (runs at full speed) and maintains maneuverability while doing so. On the PlayStation 2 version, you dog turns very slowly and you are forced to quit dashing to make the sharp turns that are often necessary when racing. Neither version allows for alternate button setups or assigning buttons yourself.
