Walks

  1. 1
    Go on lots of walks each day. This is the way to find presents as you interact with other dogs. You can take each dog on a walk more than once as long as you allow 30 minutes for the dog to rest before going on another walk.
  2. 2
    Walk one of your dogs. One the route that you take, try to get as many question marks covered as you can.
    • If your dog gives you a Fireman's Hat, it unlocks a dalmatian.
    • If your dog gives you a Jack Russel manual, it unlocks a Jack Russel.
    • If you have these dogs, when they go on walks, they will get even rarer items if they uncover a gift.

    Once you have named and taught your dog to sit you are able to use an option called "go out". Tap this and you are able to walk your dog. The more you walk it the higher your stamina becomes and the further you can walk.
