It's also important that you have to make the door off-center so that the wind will not blow directly to your dog's muzzle. While you're at it, be sure that the flooring is elevated even just a few inches to improve air circulation and prevent water from coming in during rainy season. That way, you pet will be warm during winter and comfortable during summer.
And one of the most important this is, you don't have to make your house look miserable by building a dog house like it has came from over the rainbow after being blown by a tornado and came crashing down and pinning an evil witch. You need to make your dog house blend in with the surroundings.

Try to make some decorations and once you've finished your project, it's a possibility that you will even like to sleep in it (so have you made a lot of space for your dog's doghouse?).
