How to play Good Dog
Game guide
Good Dog is a 3D backyard game where you are the dog. Your human calls out commands, the mailman keeps coming by, and a squirrel is always up to something. Be a good dog and the treats come.
The goal
Earn as many treats as you can in 90 seconds. At the end you get a rank, from Good puppy all the way up to Best dog in the yard.
How to play
- Press Let me out to start the timer.
- Watch the sign at the top of the yard. When your human gives a command, do it before the bar runs out for 8 treats. An arrow points the way when you need to go somewhere.
- Pick up the red ball and carry it back to the deck for 10 treats.
- Bark when the mailman shows up to chase him away for 6 treats.
- Catch the squirrel for 5 treats, a butterfly for 2, dig up a dirt mound for 3, and grab a bone for 1.

Tips
- A golden treat gives you the zoomies, so you run extra fast for a while.
- Barking freezes the squirrel, which makes it much easier to catch.
- Puddles slow you down, so go around them unless your human says splash.
- Commands are worth more than most things in the yard. Stay close to the middle so you can get anywhere fast when the sign changes.
- Your best score is saved, and top scores go on the shared leaderboard.
