To get training bars you have to either discipline (time-out/punish) your tama or praise it.
Discipline:
- When your tama beeps and has atleast 1 heart filled in both Happy and Hungry meters.
- (Version 3 only) When your tama connects and gives a friend a bad present.
Praise:
- When your tama is crying.
- When your tama has it's back facing you.
