I froze as Lady nosed a glittering trail into the mine, her whiskers twitching the way they do when a plan is about to go sideways. You and I both know those moments: a single wrong step and the whole run collapses. By the time Nala appears, the stakes feel as close as a heartbeat—and the path is unmistakable, as if you were trailing a bloodhound.
I’ve threaded this quest enough times to shave the rough edges. Read this like a private map: tight, ordered, and told by someone who will tell you when to breathe and when to sprint.
How to complete Getting on Like Cats and Dogs in Disney Dreamlight Valley
Most players stall at scent puzzles because they rush and trip spotlights.
Start on the Sunlit Plateau in the upper-left corner of the map, between the Forgotten Lands and the Glade of Trust. Your mission is Lady’s level seven friendship quest; finish it to secure every relationship reward she offers. I’ll guide you through the sequence in tight, actionable steps so you waste fewer reloads and more time enjoying Tramp’s inevitable drama.
Go to the Sunlit Plateau
When I open the map, I always glance at the plateau first.
Teleport to the Sunlit Plateau biome. It sits in the upper-left corner of the valley. Stand beside Lady and get ready: she’s about to trail Nala’s scent toward the Vitalys Mines entrance. This bit is mechanical—show up, follow, and keep an eye on timing.
Follow Lady and enter the Vitalys Mines
In real life you’d slow down when a partner points—do the same here.
Follow Lady as she leads you across the plateau. The scent trail funnels you to the Vitalys Mines; enter and keep Lady within sight so the objective marker doesn’t despawn. Movement here matters more than speed: stop at intersections to watch patterns and make small adjustments.
Do I need the Substitute Snout to continue?
Yes. Inside the mines the scent grows faint—equip the Substitute Snout you earned in The Jailbreak quest. With it on, head left and press deeper into the caverns. If you try this without the snout, Lady will struggle and the objective stalls. I’ve seen people waste twenty minutes reloading for this step—don’t be that person.
Evade the enchanted spotlights
I watch players fail here because they disrespect the lights.
There are six enchanted spotlights spaced along the path. Treat each light like a timing puzzle: pause, observe its sweep, then slip past on a quiet beat. If a spotlight catches you, it’ll send you back—sometimes far enough to make you reconsider your life choices. Use slow, deliberate movement and crouch where available to shrink detection windows.
How do I catch all the Enchanted Squeaky Toys?
Think of the toys as trophies you have to collect before Nala will talk.
You must pick up five Enchanted Squeaky Toys scattered through the mines. They glitter and sit on the path—grab one, then keep pace with Lady’s scent. Later, Nala will free them and they’ll fly; that’s when things get frantic. Chase each toy down and interact to hand them to Nala. If a spotlight trips while you’re collecting, your quarry resets—so combine patience with quick bursts of movement.
Catch the flying toys and talk to Nala
Sometimes a neat idea gets harder when everything starts moving.
After you collect the five toys, Nala will release them. They zip around the Vitalys Mines—you must chase and collect all five again, then hand them over by talking to Nala. Keep an ear for audio cues and watch the toys’ sparkle trails; they’ll help you prioritize the closest one. Finish the handoff and Nala will chat, closing this chapter of Lady’s training.
Return to the valley and speak with Tramp
I always enjoy the soap-opera energy when NPCs start accusing each other.
Head back to the valley with Lady. Talk to Tramp so he can celebrate—until he realizes his Bones are missing. Scar has pinched them, and that sends you on a fetch quest across the map. This is where the Royal Fishing Rod becomes your friend again.
Where are Tramp’s Bones located in the valley?
I cataloged each hint and mapped the ripples so you don’t have to play detective.
- Near the parent of glass where waves lap and turtles play: off Skull Rock Island in the Dazzle Beach biome, close to Ariel’s boat.
- Swimming deep in mud and muck, where crocodiles roam: the ancient ruins pool at the very north end of the Glade of Trust.
- Seek the border between forest and frost and the gift that snow grants to flame: the pool near the north end of the Forest of Valor, beneath the waterfall from Frosted Heights.
Each bone sits in a ripple spot—cast your Royal Fishing Rod at the shimmering area and reel them up. I recommend fast casts and short reels; the animation is forgiving, but slow plays invite respawns.
Finish the quest and take the photo
Players love a closure image; the game gives you one.
Bring all three bones back to Tramp. He’ll reward you with the Lady Bejeweled Necklace item—equip it, open your Phone, and snap a selfie with Lady and Tramp. That photo seals the Getting on Like Cats and Dogs quest. If you’re tracking achievements tied to relationship ranks, this completes Lady’s friendship milestone and grants the final rewards she offers.
The spotlights in that mine form a tight ring of watchful beams around you—treat them as the last test before the reward.
I’ve walked this line on PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and PC (Steam and Epic Games Store) and the mechanics translate the same: timing beats haste. What tactic will you try first—and who will you blame when it goes wrong?
