I need help with Nintendogs. Please I am at my wits end?

Question

Can someone please help me. I am trying to teach my puppy to bark but every time the siren or other neighbour dog barks my puppy barks back but the little light bulb does not appear for me to speak. It usually happens while I am feeding my puppy so will this effect it? I have another puppy as well and they both bark at the same time, could the game be getting confused as to who to make the light bulb appear for? Do I have to have my puppy 'zoomed in' and be playing with it for the light bulb to appear? It seems like the few times it does actually work and I say 'bark' she either gets confused or doesn't recognize what I say (blue or red ? marks). Should I put my other puppy in the daycare while I focus on the one I want to teach to bark. Also I have found that she often gets commands wrong and won't lay down or jump any more when she used to all the time. It wont be too hard to teach her these tricks again but if I finally teach her to bark and she doesn't get it it will be frustrating

That's a lot of questions.

I find it easier to train my puppy when I put my other puppy in the Dog Hotel, but it's not necessary.

Yes, you have to zoom in for the light bulb to appear. No, even when you're feeding your puppy, it wouldn't matter since your puppy would stop eating in order to bark. Just zoom in, and as the light bulb appears, click on it and say the command.

If a red ? appears, it means you're not saying the command in the same intonation as before.

If a blue ? appears, it means your command is similar to another command it has already learnt.

It is important that you say your commands in the same intonation as before. I've had the same problem before and had to reteach some of the commands.

Also, make sure your puppy is well fed and is at least clean.

Hope this helps, and have fun training! =)
