I am very unclear on what exactly training tickets are. Could someone please explain to me what they do. It would be very helpful and greatly appreciated :)

Training tickets help boost the points of horses and dogs. Each ticket is worth 75 points, so if you request all 50 tickets from someone (and they accept them) that's 3,750 points total. Tickets do not take away any energy from an animal (like shows do) so you can request as many tickets as you want for one animal (or request for multiple animals).

Ticket prices fluctuate a little but I think the going prices are ~200k each ticket for horse tickets and ~120k each ticket for dog tickets. People usually advertise to sell their tickets in the (basic) advertising room (maybe you've seen some ads?). Also, 1 set=50 tickets.

Only upgraded members can buy training tickets (50 horse training tickets and 50 dog training tickets) to sell to other players or to use from themselves. They are bought from the store once a month. You can also buy "double tickets" which is a set of double tickets, from the cash shop. 

If you need more info about requesting tickets, here's the help page on it: here

If you are upgraded and you want to know more about buying and accepting requested tickets: here

I hope this answers your question!

Wow that was very helpful! Thanks so much :)
