Things to enjoy
Pet, fetch, call, dress up, photos, live shows, names.
Seven sections. Anything that needs Points or a purchase is marked in its section.
01 / MEET & PET
Pet them as much as you like.
Head, cheeks, under the chin. The dog leans into your hand and wags its tail.
How to pet a dogTreats
Hold out a treat and watch a dog come closer for a bite. Stay nearby and enjoy that small moment together.
Six dogs
A Corgi, Pomeranian, Labrador, Dachshund, Shiba Inu, and Samoyed. Get to know their different sizes and expressions, and see who catches your eye.
02 / PLAY TOGETHER
Throw a ball
It comes back to whoever threw it. Besides the ball there are a doughnut, a bone and a temari ball.
How to play fetchBack to whoever threw it
Throw a ball and watch a dog chase it and bring it back. When it waits with the ball in its mouth, take it for another round.
Other toys
Choose from toys such as a doughnut, a bone, or a temari ball. If a ball goes far away, the menu can bring it back to a spot near you.
Formations, races, two dogs playing
Gather the dogs into a formation, let them race after a ball, or choose two dogs to play together. There’s plenty to watch when the pack joins in.
03 / REST TOGETHER
Have a dog sleep next to you
Open Call in the menu, pick a spot and a direction, and the dog comes over. On the veranda, or by your pillow.
How to rest beside a dogPick a spot and a direction
Choose where a dog should come and which way it faces. Let it lie on its side, lie down, sit, or curl up. Find a cozy spot in the garden or beside your pillow.
Paw, chin rest, belly up
Ask for a paw or let a dog rest its chin on your hand. Discover a belly-up pose, a stretch, and a yawn—more little sides of your companion.
Nap together, or just watch
Listen to a sleeping dog breathe beside you. Watch the dogs wander through the garden or play with one another. You don’t have to keep them busy to enjoy their company.
Who can call dogs depends on the instance settings. Take turns with dogs that are spending time with someone else.
04 / DRESS UP
Hats and ribbons
Hats, bow ties, glasses, a backpack. Try them on before you put them on a dog. You can also pick the effect that appears when you pet.
Hats, bow ties, glasses, backpacks
Try hats, bow ties, glasses, or a backpack. Preview a look before putting it on a dog, or bring a whole outfit together with a themed set.
Petting effects
Paw prints, petals, and sparkling lights. Choose an effect that appears as you pet a dog. Some live sets also include their own matching effects.
05 / PHOTOS & MEMORIES
The world takes the photos
Photos are taken automatically while you pet a dog or when it brings a ball back, and shown on the veranda board. They are yours only, and they clear when you leave.
How to keep your photosAutomatic photos
Moments such as petting or a dog returning a ball are photographed automatically. Browse different angles on the veranda’s photo board, and find bedside moments on the bedroom board.
Save one before you leave
The photos are personal to you. Save the ones you love, and choose a frame with paw prints, hearts, or a little sparkle. Photos on the boards disappear when you leave the world.
Dog’s-eye monitor
Use your personal dog-view monitor to look around from closer to the ground. Familiar places—and you playing nearby—look a little different from here.
06 / MUSIC & LIGHT
Live shows in the garden
Lights spread across the garden in time with the music. Anyone can watch a show someone else hosts, without owning it.
Hosting and watching shows
Lights fill the garden in time with the music, with a different mood for each show. When someone hosts a show, everyone can watch, even without owning it.
Shows with the dogs on stage
The dogs perform in Candy Step and Pumpkin Parade, too. Enjoy costumes and performances that bring a different kind of playtime to the garden.

Your favorite dog greets you
