THIS IS AWESOME! My favorite dog trainer and dog whisperer of all time has just released a free video online explaining how to eliminate 94% of all unwanted behavior in ANY dog. Her name is Krista Cantrell and I absolutely LOVE the way she teaches. Click on the video to watch. You'll be glad you did...

Zoning or the need for personal space is an instinct that is totally not removed even among domesticated dogs.  Hence, dogs that are provided with a safe and warm place to stay in generally live longer, much healthier lives. 

Crating and allowing the dog to stay inside the owners home is a common practice. Then again, these often end up not being the most beneficial or soundest approaches in terms of giving your dogs shelter. For one, while crating can be used to both foster den instinct and facilitate potty training, it can also lead to dogs becoming fearful, unhappy, noisy, and at times even destructive. To an untrained dog, the entirety of your home becomes an area where it can play and relieve itself anytime. Even more serious is if the dog becomes ill or dies after taking in poison or electrocuting itself by munching on wirings.

Using a doghouse or kennel makes potty training a pet dog less difficult. Store-bought ones are definitely expensive, hence, building it yourself is definitely a wise and practical decision. Doghouses are fairly easy to build, especially if you follow a DIY dog kennel plans which you can find on the Internet. The Easy Build Dog House Plan E-book made by Bill Keene for instance is a hit among DIYers. For $19.95 this DIY dog kennel plan is indeed a good buy, which is a contention shared in most of the Easy Build Dog House Plans review. 

For less than twenty dollars you already get newbie-friendly dog kennel plans, as well as additional content on how to customize and weather-proof your pet’s shelter. Easy build dog house plans reviews also rave consistently about the use of common carpentry equipment.

Size definitely matters with regards to doghouses. A kennel that is too big can cause your pet to become anxious while one that is small can be very limiting and uncomfortable. To help you ascertain the best size for your doghouse, dog kennel plans come with formulas. As a rule, your dog should be able to stand, lie, and turn around comfortably inside.
