A dog house is a must-have for many dog owners, whether it’s simply a place for their pup to retreat to during inclement weather or a luxurious retreat that allows them to treat their pet like royalty. A variety of styles are available, from rustic to modern, and can be designed in a range of sizes, materials, and colors.
A sturdily crafted wooden structure is the perfect foundation for this doghouse, which features a roof that extends out over the entrance to create a porch. This design is sure to provide plenty of shade and protection from rain, wind, and snow while also letting the dog in and out on his own terms. A classic barn door adds the finishing touch to this stylish abode that’s ready for your pup to move right in.
Even the smallest dogs need a safe space to escape the elements, and this cozy cottage makes an ideal choice. This simple design is easy to build and provides ample room for the pup to lounge inside while the door is open.
If you want to make your pup’s new home stand out, consider painting it a bright color that complements the rest of your yard. This playful approach will brighten the backyard and allow you to switch up the paint job on a whim or according to your dog’s changing moods.
