DIY Dog House Ideas

September 3, 2019 by Josh
how to build a beginner dog house

Building a home for your four-legged best friend? These DIY dog houses are something to see!


It’s no secret that we love man’s best friend here at Top Dog.

How do you think we got our name? Most dog owners want to give the best for their pups, from getting top-quality food to making sure they have the best space to live. A third of millennials were influenced to buy a house so they could provide more space for their dog, according to a recent study. It’s clear we’re willing to go above and beyond for our dogs, so why not give them a house of their own to enjoy?

Dog houses are a great way to give an outdoor covered space for your dog. For a fun DIY project, check out some dog house designs you can recreate below.

Note: This article talks about dogs because here at Top Dog Home Pro, we love dogs (hence the name). That said if you have a roofing or gutter question, be sure to reach out to us below!
