This wood dog house information also includes the do's and don'ts in selecting the perfect wood dog house.

• Do build or purchase the right wood dog house size for the dog
• Do provide the dog house with an insulated wood structure
• Do have an offset door. This provides a windbreak and a cooler spot out of the sun
• Do have a total wood roof to reduce the sun's heat and maintain adequate heat retention
• Do have a door barrier installed during the cold months
• Do raise the wooden dog house off on-ground for better temperature control and to avoid flea infestation

• Don't purchase a plastic house for the dog. It's too cold in the winter and too hot in the summer
• Don't build or purchase a house too big for the dog, especially in colder climates
• Don't obtain a house with the door centered on the front wall. It overexposes the dog to foul weather and direct sunlight
• Don't use asphalt shingles on a doghouse unless it has an adequate insulation barrier between the roof and the living area
• Don't leave doors closed during hot months. Either remove or tie open doors to increase interior ventilation
