Obedience Trials (Japanese: ドッグコンテスト Dog Contest) are a type of contest in Nintendogs and Nintendogs + Cats. It is the only contest to be played on an AR card in the 3DS version.
Objective
The player has to teach the dogs the tricks required to learn before entering an Obedience Trial. It is said that, if the player is playing Nintendogs, grooming or bathing his/her dog until it sparkles might make the judges give more points. If the player is playing Nintendogs + Cats, the player must have one AR Card to display the dog on. In the DS, the owner gets $2000 if they get 1st place in Championship.
In Nintendogs if the dog performs the wrong trick the bottom screen will say "Miss!"
In the 3DS, the owner gets a pair of victory specs if they get 1st place in the Nintendogs Cup. The player can only receive one victory specs per pet.
