"Canine Courtship" is the first Quest in Disney Dreamlight Valley's Lady and the Tramp Realm. To access it, you must first unlock the Lady and the Tramp Realm in the Dream Castle by spending 13,000 Dreamlight. Once you have spent the Dreamlight, head through the door and explore this brand-new Realm.

Craft Tony's Outfit

From the Realm entrance, walk straight forward to find Tramp standing in front of Tony's Restaurant. Talk to Tramp, who has no memories of his previous time in Dreamlight Valley. He's also more than a little suspicious of you - after all, he doesn't often encounter humans who can talk to dogs!

You will need to gather the following materials to make an outfit that will allow Tramp to trust you: Old Paper x 4, Old Stuffing x 4, Fabric x 4

Old Stuffing

Return to the Realm entrance and turn right. There is a small area surrounded by a white fence. Enter the fenced area and the first Old Stuffing will be on the ground in front of you.

At the entrance to the fenced area is a green trash can. Open it to find the second Old Stuffing inside.

Leave the fenced are and head right, towards Tony's Restaurant. Just before you leave the alleyway, there will be a pile of wooden crates to your left. The third Old Stuffing is on the ground in front of that crate pile.

Leave the alleyway and turn left. Walk along the wall and past one white door. Just past the door is a green trashcan with the fourth Old Stuffing inside.

Old Paper

Return to the Realm entrance and turn right to find a small area surrounded by a white fence. Enter the fenced area and there will be a pile of wooden crates in front of you. Walk around the crates and the first Old Paper is on the other side, on the ground.

A second pile of wooden crates is against the back wall of the fenced area. The second Old Paper is on the ground to the right of the crate pile.

Leave the fence area and turn right, towards Tony's Restaurant. As you exit the alley, turn right again and walk towards a building that says "Grill" on the window. In front of this building is a green trash can. Open the can to find the third Old Paper inside.

Return to the alley entrance. This time, turn left. Walk along the wall, past one white door, to find another sparkling green trash can. Inside is the fourth Old Paper.

Fabric

While there is Fabric scattered around the Lady and the Tramp Realm, you can ALSO use Fabric that you craft. 1 Fabric can be crafted from 5 Cotton. Cotton Seeds are purchased at Goofy's Stall in the Sunlit Plateau. There is a Crafting Station in the fenced area to the right of the Realm entrance.

However, if you would prefer to collect the Fabric in the Lady and the Tramp Realm, you can find it in the following locations:

Return to the Realm entrance and turn right. There is a small area surrounded by a white fence. Enter the fenced area and look to your right. There is a green trash can surrounded by sparkles. There is a Fabric inside.

Leave the fenced area and turn right, towards Tony's Restaurant. Walk to the end of the alley. On your left is another green trash can. It has two pieces of Fabric inside.

From the alley entrance, walk straight across the road to Tony's Restaurant. At the corner of Tony's Restaurant is a green trash can with two rolls of Fabric inside.

Once you have found all of the Old Stuffing and Old Paper and found or crafted the four rolls of Fabric, return to the Realm entrance and turn right into the fenced area. There is a Crafting Station here. Use this Crafting Station to combine the items into Tony's Shirt and Tony's Apron.

Dress Up Like Tony

Using the Wardrobe Menu, dress up in Tony's Shirt and Tony's Apron. Once you are wearing your Tony outfit, talk to Tramp, who will be waiting at the entrance to the Realm. He will believe you are a Tony's Restaurant employee and agree to talk to you!

Meet Up With Lady

When you talk to Tramp, he tells you that he wants to recreate his first date with Lady - referring, of course, to the iconic scene from the film where the pups share a plate of spaghetti outside of Tony's Restaurant! He asks for your help, and of course you agree.

Follow Tramp to meet up with Lady. Take the following path:

  • Walk past Tony's Restaurant to find a white gate. Interact with the gate to open it.
  • Turn left as soon as you pass through the gate. Lady will be wiating for you in the small area behind the restaurant.

Talk to Lady, who, unlike Tramp, is perfectly willing to accept that a human can talk dog. Since Tony isn't around, seems like it's up to you to recreate that magical moment for the two canines!

Recreate Lady and Tramps First Date

There are a number of tasks you will need to complete in order to accurately recreate Lady and Tramp's first date. These are cook Tony's Spaghetti Especialle, find a tablecloth for the table, and locate some candles and put them on the table.

Cook Spaghetti Especialle

Look to the left of where Lady and Tramp are waiting. There is a book on a table, a stall filled with ingredients, and a pizza oven-themed Cooking Station for you to use.

Read the book to learn the recipe for Spaghetti Especialle. Unfortunately, Tony's instructions are not very straightforward. He gives you the following clues:

  • Ingredients must be top quality.
  • Use two spices, including Roasted Mushrooms.
  • Do NOT use peanut butter
  • Use meat, but NOT anchovies

There are eight ingredients in the stall. You need five to make the Spaghetti Especialle. Here are some more hints if you need them:

  • The other Spice you will need is something you frequently see in the Valley.
  • You need one top-quality ingredient to make the sauce, and one to make the noodles.
  • You won't need a banana.

If you just want the solution, the ingredients you need for the Spaghetti Especialle are: Tap to Reveal

Once you've cooked the Spaghetti Especialle, put it on the table in front of Lady and Tramp.

Find a Nice Tablecloth

From the area behind Tony's Restaurant where Lady and the Tramp are waiting, turn left. You will see another white gate, this one already open.

Once you are through the gate, turn left. There will be some laundry hanging on the lawn. Interact with the laundry to receive the Red and White Tablecloth. Then, put it on Lady and the Tramp's table.

Find Romantic Candles

From where Lady and the Tramp are waiting, cross to the other side of the alleyway. There is a Crafting Station here. To the right of the Crafting Station, on the ground, are some Romantic Candles. Pick them up and put them on Lady and Tramp's table.

Once the table has been fully decorated, interact with it to light the candles.

Then, take a picture of Lady and Tramp enjoying their romantic bella notte together! Listen in as they have a wonderful date, even sharing another iconic spaghetti kiss.

Get Inside the Dog Pound

Oh no! The dogs' date is ruined - the dog catcher shows up and captures Lady! Talk to Tramp, who tells you that the pound has a broken window that you can use to get inside and rescue Lady.

Get Past the Outside Spotlights

Follow Tramp to the Dog Pound via the following path. You will need to avoid the dog catchers' moving spotlights as you go - if they catch you, you will have to start from the beginning again!

Exit the alley behind Tony's Restaurant. Turn left to see an open green wooden gate

Go through the gate. In front of you is a single spotlight moving left to right. When it moves to the right, it briefly pauses against the wall. Run past it during this pause - but don't go too far, because the next pair of lights is right in front of you.

The left light moves left and right, while the right spotlight does not move. Wait until the left spotlight is as far to the left as it goes to run between the two lights.

Just past the two spotlights is a lever. Interact with the lever to turn the spotlights off.

Climb the Ladder

Talk to Tramp. He tells you that there is a ladder you can climb to get into the pound. You tell him to stay behind so that the dogcatchers don't get him too.

Interact with the ladder to move it to the right. Then, enter the portal that appears to go inside the pound.

"Canine Courtship" concludes here. The next Quest will see you working with Lady to rescue her from the pound!

Quest Rewards

You receive the following items as part of this Quest (not officially counted by the game as Quest Rewards, because you craft them yourself):

  • Tony's Shirt
  • Tony's Apron
Help Lady get out of the pound in the next Realm Quest, "The Jailbreak!"
