"We had this idea to come up with an interactive space looking inside of a dog's head to find out all the things that make a dog tick," Dogville co-founder and CEO Matana LePlae told "Good Morning America."

"I definitely wanted Dogville to be a place where people can mix and mingle, meet and enjoy each other, learn about each other and their dogs," she said.
