Describe your dog's dog house. What do you have around it, and what does it look like?

I'm geting an australian shepherd in a couple of months, I'm realy excited. I have a sheltie but hes just to damn mean, I made a dog house for him last year, and he never goes in it, once i tried to teach him, he went in, then went our and won't stay inside. i'm going to teach my aussie early to like her dog house, i'm going to have vines (sweet pea, morning glory) all around it, and lillies, perannuals, and other annuals around it. But if she has blue eyes, i'm going to have all the flowers blue. Whats your dog house like?

Describe your dog's dog house. What do you have around it, and what does it look like?
My dogs live in my house. It has a large, fenced in yard along with central heat and air. They have a choice of TV or PBS when I am gone. Why don't you let your dog live in the house with you? It can hardly guard the house if it's kept outside.
Reply:Dan, are you serious? I have never had a dog that liked to go in an outside dog house. If the dog likes it, fine, if not.....
Reply:I have several dogs and their house is about 2000 sq ft, it's in the middle of renovations so there are lots of baby gates up because the tile is being regrouted. It has central air, and lots of plants, but hanging from the ceiling so they don't get eaten. They have pallets on the floor of the room they sleep in and it's the biggest room in the house. We sleep there too, and sometimes when we have only adult dogs and no puppies, we even get to sleep without a pup. They like that room best because that's the way to that special "outside" place. However, since this is Florida and they are big german shepherds and 1 medium husky, they like going back in their house because it gets too hot to stay outside for very long. :)
Reply:My dog has a dogloo. It is a dog house but its like a igloo. Its plastic. It has lots off stuffed animals and blankets in it. It is just out side the backyard door. around it there are lots of bushes and flowers. He sniffs them when he wakes up. He likes it alot. He like sthe part thjat he can see everyone from it so he isnt so much alone. try putting the house so that if you are outside he can see you very well!
Reply:well my dogs, dog house is huge, it has a livin room a kitchen two bathrooms and 3bedrooms,


theres a tv, coal fire, a computer and a fish tank in his livin room,


to be honest i think hes slighty spoilt.
Reply:i see a dog house as a waste of time and space. i mean a dog isnt going to go into it if it doesnt want to. so y try. and y would u put flowers around it that is stupid. some flowers can be toxic to dogs. is it going to be an outside dog. if so just make sure that u have a little area that has a roof on it like for instance if u have an open porch with a roof over it. and then just put a bed there. then it will be fine. as long as it has shelter it will be fine. ur thinking way to much about this. dogs dont really need dog houses. they r a waste of money
Reply:Right now my dog house is three bedrooms, living room, family room, kitchen and two bathrooms. A doggy door in the back so they can come and go as they please.


In the past, my ex-wife would not let the dogs stay in the house. So we had a 4'x6' dog house. It was filled with ceder chips and a foam rubber dog bed. The funny thing was she would play like Snoopy, from Peanuts. She would stand up on the peaked roof of the house. I don't think she every went inside.


When I got my Chi/Rat Terrier I bought one of those Igloo dog houses and a nice bed. All he did was drag the bed out and shred it. I got the doggy door and everything has been great since then. It ever works with my other younger dogs, a Beagle and an APBT.
Reply:my dogs dont have dog houses. this might sound really stupid, but what are they used for? do they actually live in there their whole lives? no rude comments about this question please.
