Building a dog house yourself is mostly a sizing exercise: measure your dog from nose to tail and add 2 to 3 inches on each side so they can lie down stretched out, then set the doorway at roughly three quarters of shoulder height. Use exterior grade plywood or solid wood rather than particleboard, frame the roof with a slight pitch so rain runs off, and lift the floor 2 to 4 inches off the ground to stop damp rising. Insulate the walls and roof cavity with foam board if winters bite, and leave a gap at the top for ventilation.
