Dogbook Help: How do I...?

Answers to the most commonly-asked questions about using Dogbook.

Choose between a Park and Group?

  • A Park and a Group are exactly the same, except that a Park has a map.
  • Parks are great for getting together with all kinds of dogs around your neighborhood!
  • Groups are great for connecting with dogs from all over the world who have things in common — for example, dogs of the same breed, or dogs that like the same kinds of treats.

Be an "Admin" for a Park or Group?

  • When you create a Park or Group, you can select yourself or one of your pets to be the administrator.
  • A park's administrator has more control over the park than regular members: you can edit the park's description, edit the Wall, invite other members to become administrators, and so on.
  • You can only be the administrator of a Park or Group if you created it, or if you are selected by another administrator.
  • To add another administrator to your Park or Group, go to the list of members and click "Select as an admin" beside the user's name.

Find a Group?

  • Go to the profile of a person or pet in the group, and click the link to the Group underneath their profile picture.

Find a Park?

  • You can search for Parks. You can also go to the profile of a person or pet in the Park, and click the link to the Park underneath their profile picture.

Join a Group or a Park?

  • Once you've found a Group or Park you want to join, click the "Join..." link at the top right. People and pets can join — you decide! (Some people prefer to keep their pet front-and-centre.)

Leave a Group or a Park?

  • Click the "Leave..." link at the top right. People and pets can leave — you can remove yourself but your pet can stay, and vice-versa.
