This achievement will unlock at level twenty (20), and requires 140,000E XP. By the time you hit level ten (10) you’ll have everything else unlocked and just be looking to gain XP as fast as possible. This guide will help you get the most XP as fast as you can.

First thing you’ll need to know is how to get gold easy. To do this go at least 300meters away from home and do the first photo challenge “Home Photo” (if you have already done it that’s okay you can do it again) take a picture of where you are. The game will think this is you home and now you can do the “Neighbourhood Challenge” from home. Every time you complete the “Neighbourhood Challenge” you’ll net a nice 350 coins.

With the coins you have you’ll want to buy Mineral Water (Drink) and Steak/Chicken Drumstick (Food), if you don’t know where to buy these click the box in the top right and go into the shop. Each time you cub is thirsty or hungry give them these items for 2250 easy XP.

Another easy way to get fast XP is to purchase all the Balls and Jump Ropes in the shop. For each new ball or jump rope your cub plays with you’ll get 750XP. To do this click on the box in the top right corner and swipe right once, any ball or jump rope that has a star beside it means you haven’t played with that item yet. Once you pick the item with a star beside it throw it or jump over it once then pause the game and select “Stop playing with ball/jump rope”. Easy 750XP
EDIT: If you keep playing with your cubs favorite ball or jump rope you can gain the 750XP multiple times after the message "Your cub is having a great time" appears. Thank takuto neko for this info

Another things to keep and eye on for easy XP is the Player Certificate, you can look at this by clicking the icon second from the top left. In the bottom middle you’ll notice it says different thing such as; Dirty, Hungry, Thirsty, Lonely, Playful or Happy. Each one of these will give you XP for doing the correct actions. Here is the list of what must be done and how much easy one will give:

1. Dirty – 1500XP – If your cub it dirty select the box in the top right then swipe left to care items and choose a sponge, now clean your cubs front, right, and left sides till they stand up again all nice and clean.

2. Hungry/Thirsty – 2250XP – if your cub is hungry/thirsty you must wait for them to go off screen and grab a bowl before you give him the Chicken/Steak/Mineral Water. If you feed them from your inventory you won’t get any XP.

3. Lonely – 2250XP – Much like dirty, for this click on your cub and pet them on the front, right and left sides till they stand up again.

4. Playful/Happy – 750XP – if your pet is playful or happy (a lot of the time when I played for some reason) go into your inventory and select a ball or jump rope, now play with your cub until you see the message “Your cub is having a great time” at the bottom of the screen (takes 2 or 3 minutes). After this message pops up pause the game and stop playing with item. Each time you do these pick a different ball or jump rope as I noticed if you pick the same one over and over you won’t get any XP.
takuto neko I found with each new ball you play with..keep playing with it until it says "Your cub is having a great time" and the xp was 1500. If you quit out of it and don't wait you'll only get 750xp.

Also if you pick their 'favorite toy' to play with say the Golden Ball and you keep playing with it until it says "Your cub is having a great time" you will still get 750xp. Did this a number of times to help boost myself to level 20.

neeker75 Waiting for Tigger to get hungry/ thirsty is getting too boring. I used the ball-tossing method to boost a few XP. Level 11 now only. Sigh.

pyr0lyZer Does anyone know if the photo trick will work if you do Marathon photo? I live about 30 miles from my work so I will give that a try if no one knows.
Posted by pyr0lyZer on 05 Nov 11 18:24:24
mydefposse ^ was wondering this too. if it works I will make sure to make my gf's uni "home" next time I visit her as it's miles away lol.

Fuzzy Dem0n It should work, as long as the distance is far enough away you could take a picture while in another state or province then set that as home, once you return you can do the vacation picture over and over again for more coins.
Posted by Fuzzy Dem0n on 07 Nov 11 15:15:48
pyr0lyZer I think the Marathon trick will work also, but you get the same amount of coins, so unless you are doing it for the first time to get the XP, I guess it's probably not worth it.

I do have another question, in case someone knows the answer...any clue why the option "Select photo from album" is not available on my phone?

funkym0nkey77 nice guide thanks, looks quite grindy though

Fuzzy Dem0n To pyr0lyZer
i dont think it is an option because the phone doesnt recognize the picture but the location you are in at the time of the picture.

Failure Online If your club is playful it should take about 10 successful catches. If they are happy it should take about 20. You do not have to play with the ball that they pick out.

RQ NinjaPenguin i have found that feeding my cub steak doesn't work anymore maybe they have patched it ?

xMidget Furyx another way to earn xp is the trick mode. although it takes a bit longer than the jump rope or ball, it's nice for a change of pace sometimes

xMidget Furyx just a thing to add what I did was after my 25 golds were done. I went a bought every ball from the shop. And played with them at the beach the cub seemed to get dirtier there. I didn't even make it through all the balls before I had enough XP this is a great solution to understand how to earn max xp

Billservo Solution works great. Stick to new toys, feeding and cleaning when prompted and it goes by fairly quick.

UnsungGhost I also wanted to mention that you don't even need to throw the ball once if it's a new one. Just selecting it and exiting with "stop playing with ball" will give you the exp.

HiradC I can't even do the photo challenge, loads up to take a photo and when I accept it says resuming but only goes back to xbl game selection screen :(
