Dog Houses



An important part of your dog’s active lifestyle includes being outside running, playing, and enjoying the warmer weather. This means your dog could be outside for hours on end. During his adventures outdoors, it’s likely that your dog will feel the heat and want to enjoy the breeze while curling up in the shade.

The Extreme Outback Log Cabin offers a stylish way to provide your dog with the shelter he wants while enjoying your backyard. This easy to assemble, weatherproof dog house made of wood, plastic feet and a shingled roof offers the dog a place to call his own, while offering you an aesthetically pleasing accessory for your backyard haven.

The solid wood construction of the Log Cabin offers wood insulation for the dog to keep his house cooler in summer and warmer in winter. Also, the shingled roof blocks any water from getting in during a rainy day. This allows your dog to feel comfortable in his home whatever the weather, keeping rover happy and healthy.

When setting up a dog house for your loveable pet, you have to consider the placement of the house in the yard. Dogs like to be close to their families, but they also want to have their own space. Keeping the dog house in a corner of the yard where no one goes makes the animal feel as though he is being isolated. Also, if the house is in the middle of the traffic pattern (at the edge of a walkway), he will feel as though he’s being bothered as people walk by. If your backyard is a rectangular shape, try putting the Dog House about 4 or 5 feet away from the most commonly used area in the yard (example: if you have a seating area, place the dog house close enough that he can see everyone sitting there). That way he will still feel as though he’s with the people in the yard, but has his own personal space and time.


Also remember that this house is a place you want the dog to enjoy. Never use the dog house as a form of punishment, or he will see his house only as a place to go when he’s done something wrong. If your dog likes his privacy, especially when in his dog house, a Door will not only allow him to feel much more relaxed in his home, but will also protect him from the elements by blocking out precipitation as well as cold winds. By keeping your dog safe you are not only protecting his health, but you are also creating a long-term friendship between the two of you.
