Nah, dogs are pack animals, and prefer to be with their family/pack. If Bailey is relegated to the outdoors, I feel very sad for him/her. They are social creatures, therefore he/she is probably lonely. They'll adapt, and it'll seem like they are happy, but given the choice, dogs want to be with their people, at all times. They'll take what you give, but if it's up to them, they'll be by your side. I'd say to get another dog to keep Bailey company, but don't want another dog living outside, away from its family. Ten degrees is AWFUL. My 6 dogs are all cuddled up on the couch under blankets, waiting for bed time, where they will get in my bed, along with my 6 cats, and I live in Phoenix. My tortoise is in his cage, door open, on his warmer. Tomorrow afternoon, he'll go out the dog door to sunbathe a bit before he grazes on grass until sunset when he comes back in the house, has a snack, then heads to his cage to get on top of his warmer, for the night. Builder dude, do better. Don't have animals, if you don't want them in the house, and part of your life.

People value their THINGS more than their loyal dogs who would protect them until their dying breath. Do they shed in the house? You betcha. Get a roomba. Figure it out. Better yet, don't get a dog if you can't love it enough to honor it as a valued member of your pack. The guy didn't even allow Bailey in his workshop when he was building it.

I thought something like that too. Don’t know what kind of weather he gets but putting in a concrete foundation is not *that* formidable. Even if it’s just around the edges with sand in the center. Only problem is this was a Winter project, digging frozen ground is nasty, getting concrete to cure… I don’t even know if it is possible. And a Canadian foundation would have to be pretty deep because of the expected lows. Not sure if too deep for a non-driven excavator tool-rented, of course-but as I understand it using a small driven model is too specialized for a novice to use. Anyway, done is done and the results is pretty spectacular. The dog may not appreciate the beautiful appearance but it looks good in the yard-and the comfort features speak for themselves. I thought it was really impressive.

Just a couple water ceiling tips. After cutting the plywood barn siding it's a good idea to paint the cut edges especially the ones going toward the bottom. That siding will rot out and break down pretty fast compared to other wood When doing the fascia flashing and you're not able to bend it around a corner and you do a lap. Which yours looked really good. It's a good idea to put butyl or mastic or even some double-sided foam tape in the lap. The silicone on the surface will eventually lose adhesion and water will find its way in there. Especially with freeze and thaw.

Brilliant job. My only suggestion would have been to make the roof structure hinged so you can literally lift it up and do things inside the house without having to crawl in. Cleaning it out, replacing dog bedding, checking on the dog if he is immobile, all made much easier if you can just pop the lid and look inside, and there's no reason you can't do that even with a nice solid roof. You might want to add hydraulic lifters to make it easier, particularly in Winter, but that would only cause a minor budgetary increase for a tremendous amount of ease of future operation.

Agreed, I was slightly worried that the house - and the entrance - were a bit on the small side. Bailey's quite a big girl, and it was noticeable she had to crouch to get through the doorway. God forbid she were ever taken ill or collapsed inside the dog house - it would be a struggle to get her out through that doorway. I agree, a hinged roof (or even wall) would allow fast/easy access to the interior for cleaning or anything else, when needed.

I sourced most of my build materials for free. And had to buy a large sheet of 2.5 inch foam for insulation. It's so reassuring; being able to monitor the tempature of her house during the winter months. It's 22 degrees outside right now and her house is 70 degrees inside. I also have a wifi camera to keep an eye on her aswell.

Looks awesome. Love the look including the lights and wood exterior. $1500 US for a doghouse isn't realistic unless you're wealthy. A conventional 60 watt or 100 watt light bulb (not LED) inside the doghouse provides a lot of heat especially if you add the clear plastic "door". I've built and purchased dog houses over the years. I add the clear plastic "door", a light bulb in a small enclosure for heat, seal up the dog house with caulking, and you'd be amazed at how warm the interior gets. I understand why this kind of video is more popular though :). Thanks for the content. Lucky dog!

First of all excellent idea and execution. As a dog owner whose dogs are outside pretty much the year round I also built them a winterized dog house. A couple of things I did differently: - The dog house has two rooms. A "foyer" and the "main" room and I offset the entrances laterally by as much as possible creating a temperature buffer and preventing wind to blow into the "main" room. - I build a similar roof, but did it as a lid with a set of heavy duty hinges on the top long side. I can lift the roof easily and gain very comfortable access to the interior for cleaning and maintenance. I wish I had thought of putting in an electric heated floor. Beside offering added comfort, it would have been fun integrating it into my home automation system. I also created a small sliding window but I like your solution with the porthole better.
