When your tama calls and it has at least one heart full for both hungry and happy, then it needs a time out. if it calls and it has its' back to you, then give it praise. also, you can get training bars if you try to give a present that you wrapped to someone, but your tama gives something else (like poo or a snake, or nothing at all). Yours will come back to your screen and go to the bottom with a "he he, i've been bad" look on it's face. give it a time out.
