Where My Dogs At is a new social networking app angled at dog lovers and their four-legged friends looking for local dog-friendly places to go and people to meet.
Think Facebook for Fido, with a “Yelp for dogs” approach, built around a location-based search and rating of dog-friendly businesses, restaurants, parks and apartments with detailed listings and user reviews.
Rather than “checking in,” users “mark their territory” at their favorite locations, interact with fellow dog lovers and let their friends know which places and businesses have earned their “paw of approval.”
This may sound like satire, but it isn't. Animal lovers are a huge market, and many people like to share pictures of their pets — especially on social networks.
“Everybody loves social media these days, even dogs,” said Jonathan Kolker, co-founder and chief executive of Where My Dogs At. Kolker was inspired by his energetic cocker spaniel named Eddie and wanted to find new dog-friendly places to take him. After compiling a list of dog-approved places in Los Angeles, Kolker's childhood friend Gareth Wilson (president and creative director) suggested that the two partner up and put that data into a social app. The two were graduate students at USC's Annenberg Program of Online Communities.
Kolker and Wilson received $ 10,000 from the USC Annenberg Innovation Lab to build the Where My Dogs At app and later got $ 20,000 in seed funding from the start-up accelerator program StartEngine.
Where My Dogs At tries to “socialize dogs with its social components,” Kolker

They are like my sisters…..doesn’t matter where, it’s on!
that’s one real bitchfight.
That looks like me trying to separate my children when they fight
that is one big motherfucking house. impressive
i liked the tensions that built up amongst all of the dogs when the sisters started fighting. that was awesome.
That is a dumb answer…………. I have a Rottweiler Female and I have a Pit Pull female and they love eachother
ok? your nice… i said there’s the danger of it, its just a known fact, it doesn’t mean its impossible if their smart. it was just weird that she was already having the problem and didn’t even think of that
Hmmm…makes sense!!!!Tnx
Ceser Millan reminds me so much of Tony Stark. Im not sure why…
bitches be crazy
how would you handle two large dogs, it seems easier to handle two smaller dogs?
so ruby was too much for him huh,
i study my cat and i know when he will strike me and exactly a second before he try to scracth me i already pull my head backward. and i will throw water to any cat if they start to fight. sometimes i distract them by giving food. maybe this can apply to dog
This was a long boring episode with nothing going on
aww when jinx begged i almost died. Too cute.
for cash
“You’re a stranger to my house, but this is my house.” Badass.
Ruby went to a farm far far away…….
that’s the problem I have. Two full grown male pitbulls; and my wife ain’t getting close when all hell breaks loose to help me. That’s a video I NEED to see.
