A dog house is a weatherproof outdoor shelter sized so one dog can stand, turn and lie down with about 2–4 inches of clearance, built from solid wood, engineered board or moulded resin, and raised off the ground so the floor stays dry. Ours are solid wood builds with a raised floor, a roof overhang and panel joints you can seal — the three things that decide whether a house holds heat instead of tracking the weather. Choosing a dog house comes down to three measurements: interior size, material, and how you will handle temperature. The interior should clear your dog by 2–4 inches in height and length and no more, because an oversized house is extra air your dog has to warm. Solid wood takes foam board and a door baffle properly if you want to insulate it; engineered board is the budget option.
