The game centers on touch-screen interaction. Players adopt a puppy from several breeds and manage daily care such as feeding, washing, grooming, walking, and playing. The microphone can be used for calling the dog and teaching voice commands. Training gradually unlocks more tricks and raises obedience, while competition modes include obedience trials and agility events. Winning earns money and rewards that can be spent on items, accessories, and new dogs. Progress follows the real-time clock, so the dog's condition changes over time.

Labrador Retriever

One of the signature breeds in the game, gentle and friendly, ideal for new players.

Shiba Inu

A lively and independent Japanese breed, commonly available as a main adoption choice.

Chihuahua

A small, quick-reacting breed that works well for obedience training and dress-up play.

In the early game, focus on affection and cleanliness first, and teach only a few commands at a time to avoid fatigue. Before entering competitions, make sure the dog is fed and groomed so its condition stays high. Going on walks and interacting with people can trigger useful rewards, and basic shop purchases should prioritize toys and care items. Repeating easier contests is a reliable way to build money quickly.
