Appearance of the Dancer[]
Original[]
The dancer is a male anthropomorphic dalmatian named Dooggy Doug. He wears a black collar with a red buckle, a red button up shirt, red sunglasses, a chain necklace with a dog bone design, and a pair of black sneakers. He has yellowish fur.
Just Dance 3[]
In Just Dance 3, his fur is now white and he has a red outline.
Remake[]
In the remake, his outlines are in a more higher definition.
Background[]
Just Dance[]
The routine takes place in a room with a light blue wall. There are several clouds on the sides and semi-transparent dog bones that fly from one side to another horizontally.
Just Dance 3/Just Dance: Greatest Hits (Wii)[]
On the Wii version of Just Dance 3 and Just Dance: Greatest Hits, the room is much lighter. The clouds are more numerous and bounce up and down and the dog bones are now three-dimensional and fly in many directions. In the chorus, five teal blue dog paw prints appear one by one in a quick succession and flash to the beat whenever "Who, who, who, who, who" is sung and vanish during the verses. Whenever "Hah, ho, yippie-yi-yo" is sung, two other paw prints appear and flash to the beat on the sides of the screen. At the beginning and end of the routine, police sirens and dogs barking are heard.
Just Dance 3 (Xbox 360)[]
On the Xbox 360 version of Just Dance 3, there are much more bones, which are now in shades of blue, in 2D, and have a thin black outline. Some of them fly in front of Dooggy Doug and they pulse to the beat when "Who, who, who, who, who" is sung. The clouds are also now much bigger and slowly move to the right.
Just Dance: Greatest Hits (Xbox 360)[]
On the Xbox 360 version of Just Dance: Greatest Hits, the background is similar to the one in Just Dance 3, except that during the chorus, a light blue music spectrogram appears on both the wall and the floor and move to the beat and five white paw prints appear on the floor in quick succession when "Who, who, who, who, who" is sung.
Remake[]
In the remake, the background is based off the Wii version of Just Dance 3 and Just Dance: Greatest Hits with some mild changes. At the beginning of the routine, the background fades in with a dog paw print silhouette transition that goes from left to right. The room is darker and with a light blue circular gradient in the middle of the wall, the dog bones look more 3D, and the paw prints on the wall appear more quickly and are more luminous. At the end of the routine, the same paw print transition from the beginning of the routine is used.
Shake Moves[]
There are 3 Shake Moves in Just Dance:
Shake Move 1: Swing your arms up and shake your legs and head.
Shake Moves 2 and 3: Quickly bring your right arm up and your left arm up consecutively and shake your legs. Shake Move 3 is done for a longer time.
Gold Moves[]
Starting with Just Dance 3, there are 2 Gold Moves in this routine, both of which are the same:
Both Gold Moves: Quickly bring your right arm up and your left arm up consecutively and shake your legs.

Trivia[]
General[]
- The Amazon page for Just Dance adds a question mark at the end of the title.[3]
- Among all that games that feature Who Let the Dogs Out?, only the Wii version of Just Dance 3 has the question mark at the end of the title, and the two elements are incorrectly separated by a blank space.
- In the Xbox 360 version of Just Dance 3, the article in the song title is capitalized, as opposed to every other game.
- The preview video in the Xbox 360 version of Just Dance: Greatest Hits uses the Baha Men version; however, the routine uses the Sunlight Shakers cover.
- Throughout every game the song is featured in, a few changes have been applied the lyrics.
- In all appearances, the first letter of some words is erroneously capitalized.
- In every game after Just Dance, the lines "Infested mongrel", "It’s part of the Party", and "Oh doggy hold it" have an exclamation point at the end.
- Before the remake, the first time "A doggy is nuttin’" is sung, the lyric appears as "Say/A doggy is nuttin'".
- In every game after Just Dance, the first time "Oh doggy hold ya’ bone" is sung, there is no space between the words "ya’" and "bone".
- In a few lyrics in Just Dance 3 and Just Dance: Greatest Hits, there is a full stop at the end of the lines, making them read "Who let the dogs out.". This only happens during the second, third, and fourth times in which the lyrics are sung. In the other times when it is sung, it says “Who let the dogs out” without the full stop.
- In Just Dance and later games, the lyric "Until the fellas"/"Start the name callin'" is misinterpreted as "I tell the fellas"/"Start the name callin’". This is fixed in the remake.
- The Just Dance version has a lyric that reads "Walkin’ Through the place that/Digi-Man is breakin’ it down?". Before the remake, the question mark is gone, and there is no space between "breakin’" and "it", making the lyric read as "Walkin’ Through the place/That Digi-Man is breakin’ it down". In the remake, the word "That" is gone, so the lyric reads "Walkin’ Through the place/Digi-Man is breakin’ it down".
Routine[]
- Who Let the Dogs Out? is the first song to feature a dancer in a costume.
- The dancer’s head is visible in the mouth of the dog mask.
- In promotional material for Just Dance, Dooggy Doug originally had white skin, but it was changed into a yellow tone. Later versions of this routine are based on this beta element.
- This is the first routine in the series to utilize a formerly unused element in its remake.
- The short gameplay for this routine was the first Just Dance gameplay video to be uploaded on the American Just Dance YouTube channel.[4]
- While only in the original Just Dance, Dooggy Doug is the second coach with yellow skin. The other one was The Bride.
- Dooggy Doug has an avatar available in Just Dance 2014. It is unlockable only in July.
- The avatar is also available on Just Dance 2015, but only if you have saved data from the previous games.
- In the remake, the Gold Move pictogram is reversed.
- Dooggy Doug, Heather, and the coach of Fame are the only dancers from Just Dance to appear on Mashup squares.
- The filename for Dooggy Doug’s avatar in the Just Dance service is "DogsOutDoggo Base DancerCard.png", implying that the coach was originally meant to be named Doggo.
- On Just Dance Now, the menu icon for Who Let the Dogs Out? is incorrectly displayed for Bring Me to Life when sorting the catalog by opus.[5]
