Bustle: If you want to have a lasting relationship, it’s important to build a strong foundation early on. As Leigh Isaacson, relationship expert and co-founder of Dig-The Dog Person’s Dating App, tells Bustle, a strong foundation is built on trust, connection, and real compatibility. “Dog people tend to be great at reading body language, for example, but may have a tendency to leave parties early to let the pup out.

Meet Leigh and Casey Isaacson of Dig – The Dog Person’s Dating App

Voyage MIA: The sisters were also intrigued that ⅓ of people on dating apps never make it out to a real, in-person date. Many say it’s in large part due to the gamification of dating. The Isaacson sisters wanted to create a dating app that cut to the chase to find you, someone, you were very compatible with but also have it be an app that encouraged you to get off the app and really meet the other person. So, they developed a dating app that connects dog-people based on what is important to them: their need for their future significant other to be compatible with their four-legged companion and the lifestyle of being a dog owner or lover.

About Dig

Dog people are always looking for ways to get dogs in their lives. You’ll linger near the dog park’s fence, you’ll repeatedly offer to dog-sit while your friends are away, and you’ll scan every dating app for photos of potential matches with dogs at their sides. If you’re lucky enough to own a pup, you know that things never work out with someone if they’re not as into your dog as you are. So Dig founders Casey and Leigh Isaacson built a dating app that connects dog people based on what’s most important to them.
