how do I unlock dungeons?

do I just need to wait for days to pass? is there a guide on how each dungeon is unlocked? I already unlocked the one from the dog.

Couple of dungeons have a specific quest tied to them, you usually trigger it when you get close by, so explore the map. Check the destination UI (like choosing the area before you depart to it), there is a list of dungeons that are either unstarted, quest or currently unavailable. Quests are the one i mentioned above, unstarted you just need to find. For currently unavailable, game progresses based on how many dungeons you did, and at some point plot related stuff will let you access "currently unavailable" dungeons. By like... 12th you should have access to all of them.

As an extra, boss dungeons require you to complete 3 to 4 (indicated by blocks above the portal) dungeons in the region to be accessible.

There are three 'quest' unlock dungeons.

One is unlocked via a story event, you literally cannot miss it.

One is unlocked via the Dog, just hang out with the good boy and he'll help you find it in the wooded area.

And one is in the snowy area, and is either unlocked via getting a recommendation from one of the 'pro' slayers, or by simply getting 250 Renown, one of the stats that goes up every time you beat a dungeon.

You cannot 'miss' a dungeon, as beating them is part of the story. You CAN miss chests or items in them, but beyond the commemorative coins, nothing in them is fully unique, save some gear, which the best gear is gotten via hangout events.

The game is designed to be as unstress as possible, you can't 'miss' just about anything. You can revisit dungeons, there's no way to 'fail' a social interaction, and there are no wrong answers to story questions. It is a cozy game, with the combat and game systems of an action game.
