Build A Dog House With Easy Plans

My Shelties are house dogs and spend most of their time inside with the family. There were times they would like to stay outside but I brought them in because it was looking like it was going to rain, snow or it was getting too hot.

Then I thought of making them a dog house. I didn't know a thing about building a dog house and wanted to just buy one. My husband wanted to try to make it ourself so I searched for dog house plans online. I was delighted to find this resource for dog house plans.

We were very happy with the end result and the dogs love their new "play house".

These are a few bonus things we learned that I never would have thought about.
