Gameplay Strategy
Tip 1: The most important thing in the game is to level up your language skills by eating dog food. Early on, you will have to wait for it to arrive, but soon after you will learn to Bark and ask for the dog food, so progress will be a lot faster. So eat as much as possible! Note: have in mind that the food is only served in the area where the three dogs are, so make sure that you bark only when you are nearby.
Tip 2: The second most important thing are bugs: you can never have enough of them, so collect them like there's no tomorrow! You will also learn, eventually, a skill that will call in the bugs and it will be easier to collect them. Just like barking, use the skill whenever you can!
Tip 3: Talk to all dogs: new information will be available each time you level up your language skills or after passing a certain milestone in the game. I usually go talk to all dogs after each new level - there's not much else you can do anyway.
Tip 4: You don't have to wait to fully understand what the dogs are saying in order to be allowed to complete some of the tasks, but you will have to eventually understand them for others, so you still have to go through the eating/getting bugs phases.
Tip 5: Unlock the hints. In the main menu, you will have hints for the main events in the game. You unlock each by watching an ad - make sure you do so because it helps the developer greatly and the game is really worth our support! Plus, the hints themselves will make your life a lot easier!
