The following video is a bit outdated, but it does go over the use and configuration of Puppy Reinforcement (including a number of other add-ons that help gamify Anki):

You can view all past releases here.
You can customize Puppy Reinforcement by heading to Tools → Add-ons , selecting Puppy Reinforcement, and then clicking on Config. Please note that you might have to restart Anki for some of the options to apply.
Adding custom images
You can add your own images to the add-on by heading to Tools → Add-ons, select "Puppy Reinforcement", and then click on "View Files". A file manager window should pop up and in the list of files and folders you should see a "user_files" folder. Please place your custom images into that folder and then restart Anki. You should now be able to see your custom images (alongside the default images) during your reviews.
If you want to completely disable the default images you can do so by heading to Tools → Add-ons, select "Puppy Reinforcement", and then click on "Config". In the configuration window, find the "disable_default_images" option and set it to "true". Then restart Anki.
Please note that only files placed in the "user_files" directory will persist across add-on updates. If you modify the default "images" directory which is next to it, your changes will be overwritten the next time you update Puppy Reinforcement.
Enabling puppies for adding cards
You can enable the add-on for adding cards by heading to the add-on's configuration window (under Tools → Add-ons → Puppy Reinforcement → Config"), and then changing "count_adding" from "false" to "true". The changes will apply after restarting Anki.
Please do not use reviews for bug reports or support requests. I don't get notified of your reviews, and properly troubleshooting an issue through them is nearly impossible. Instead, please either use the issue tracker (preferred), add-on support forums, or just message me at 
ankiglutanimate@gmail.com. Constructive feedback and suggestions are always welcome!
