You might monitor the temps for the summer. Don't want to build a sauna for him. I know I built a dog house when I was a kid for our dog. He tunneled under it. It never dawned on me that in 100 degree summer temps there was no air movement in it and it was super hot in there. He would lay in the cool shaded dirt under it that he promptly dug out! Likely not as hot where your at, but in the summer months maybe a fan you can block off of the winter on a thermostat (like an attic fan) to move air.
Because of the placement of the house, I would have probably try to use the garage to someway duct some air circulation from the garage itself. No need for heaters or cooling in the dog house itself. It will draw air from the climat controlled garage.
Seems a bit small for him. Your upper body torso couldn't even fit when trying to sheet it on the inside. You had to take down that middle stud. Ho is he going to fit in there AND he's just a pup. Definitely should've gone bigger on this one to account for Rocky's growth. And I guess you can always build another one. And heat rises not down. Definitely add a solar fan for the big little guy. Loved the build tho
That was my first thought. Just looking at those metal crates some people buy to house their dogs indoors, their sizing guides state the absolute minimum space required should be adding 4 inches or 10cm onto the height and length of the dog, from nose to tail when standing so as to ensure the dog has enough space to be able to stretch out when lying down. The doggy home built in the video started off with a 3ft square and then 2x4 walls were added onto the base, meaning theirs barely enough space inside for a daschund or other small sized dog, let alone a 9 month old and growing Labrador. To make the dog home more comfortable for a growing labrador, the base needed to be at least 5.5ft square, possibly evenm 6ft to take into account the walls around the edges so as to allow the dog to be able to lie down comfortably.
Should have made it a little bigger & elevated the water bowl. He'll have to bend so for over to drink from it. Our Golden Retrivers do well with elevated food/water bowls. Otherwise looks great.
You can add a staircase near the low end of the roof for a doggie sun deck. Just run the stairs width wise for a small footprint and maybe throw astroturfing on the roof. Cool build!
He's got bigger problems than a bad understanding of hot air rising, like the fact that all that heat is going to escape immediately due to the entrance being always open.
I hope that this is just a fun toy house for him to go when y'all are hanging out outside. Otherwise, he should be inside with you since where you live has crazy highs in the summer and lows in the winter.
Yeah, I was wondering about that too when I watched it. Even if the concrete apron wicks it away as the other reply said, I think it would be safer to have the roof slope from the side of the house into the yard directly.
I don't know if you noticed but the wall that you had to take the stud out, you installed the insulation the wrong way. You installed it with the paper out when in reality it should have been turned around with the paper inside. That one wall was installed from the outside in because of space so the insulation should have been turned around. Just figure I mention it incase you missed it, my OCD triggered a little bit lol either way awesome build and I'll definitely be building one for my German Shepherd!
@annwithaplan9766 yeah I don't know for sure. I mean realistically if not installed properly it could just not work right meaning it would still retain heat. Being as how it's only one wall it wouldn't be that much of a big deal but putting that much money into a dog house you would want to do it right.
That was beautiful!! You will definitely need a flap in the winter!! Tractor supply has the livestock bowl you could have mounted to the house and had an auto refill on it. I’m sure I’m not the only one Wishing it was like 10 inches wider or longer. If he is 9 months old he will definitely be getting bigger! I don’t think you said what the dimensions inside are ? Could be bigger but can’t tell. Real life is always more accurate than a video ahaha. God bless !
Did you start with the house to prepare you for the dog house? 😂🤣 You could spray foam the bottom the kind you use for small cracks in doorway and windows and add a small fan. And the heat pad on the ceiling it may not work because heat rise but also because it's a small build it might be okay just check on it when it does get cold. Like having a separate thermometer sensor close to the bottom and it's hidden so the dog can't chew on it.
That trex decking (if in the sun) can't be used by your dog. It will be too hot to lay on and too hot for his paws. Nice build though, although I do think you went over board on the actual structure of it.. Also, that water bowl is way too low for your size dog. You will have to raise it up in order for him to use it. He shouldn't really have to get down low to eat or drink.
you could've used second hand horse trough? like a small one instead of the bucket...i've seen some videos where they used trough small enough to be repurposed as a sink or something...
while this is a really cool design and also great to do for your dog when you said you were doing a dog house I was honestly hoping that you were going to do your own version of the "dog house" for Teddy from Aguyandagolden lol
That was exactly my concern, though another poster noted that the concrete in front of the garage may be sloped enough to run the water into the yard. Still, I would have designed the roof to slope off the side of the house and go directly into the yard.
right off the bat: dogs like to be able to see out....definitely put a window in it. Hot air rises so not the ceiling. maybe on the wall. put some kind of plants on those cement footings. that looks terrible.
cool dog house but you should have added windows 🪟 on the sides so your dog can look out the window 🪟 also ditch the water bowl and get him an automatic water and food feeder that water bowl is a easy access for mosquitoes 🦟 to lay their eggs in and if your dog drinks out of his water bowl and ingests what ever is in your dogs water bowl thats not visible to the human eye your dog can get parvo and you definitely don’t want that to end up destroying your dogs health and possibly killing your dog also add a solar powered porch light 💡 for your dogs house 🏡 to light up his porch during those dark nights also get him a raised dog bed it will keep him off the ground and keep him warm in winter and cool in the summer and it will help him in the long where his joints wont hurt him just a thought but other than that great job 👏
Your project of building a luxury dog house with a deck is a delightful blend of creativity and care. The attention to detail and the thoughtful design truly reflect your dedication to providing a comfortable and stylish space for your furry friend. It's inspiring to see how a little luxury can be extended to our beloved pets. And I am Floating Village Life, Hit follow and let's explore together!
The way you switched the doghouse, when it rains will direct the water coming off the roof(ruff) will go into your garage. At least that’s the way it looks to me.
As a dog owner, I don’t understand some people’s obsession with believing they have to live indoors. According to veterinarians "Dogs need to be outside for exercise and for their mental well-being. It makes them happier." I have a small indoor dog, and a outdoor dog that hates being indoors and prefers the run of the property. They are both equally happy and healthy.
I rly hope you just did this video to showcase how to build some stuff and not keep the most "family-dog" of all dogs locked alone in this confined space for the whole time.
Wish I knew what kind of job you doing to have it all. Dogs living better than me. Wonder how long it took you. Showing this all on YT you must do it all but due to being smart and able to do it. For sure older than 25 due to what I've heard.
Dog water bowl no bueno. The doggie will have to crane his neck to drink. Food and water source should be at even height with his head as he is standing.
That is a "baller" dog house. Not to be critical, but the way you have the roof pitched is going to direct water to the entrance of your garage and the house foundation. You should always try to direct water away from the foundation of the house and as far into the yard as possible.
I love it, the design and the fact that you’ve insulated was smart but… the dog is much bigger than the dog house! I’m not saying he needs a second level or anything like that but enough so he can completely escape outdoors.
I hear you and in most cases sure the dog should be where it’s most comfortable. However, some people have family members with allergies and having a dog stay outside keeps everyone happy and healthy, especially if they live in a dog house like this.
@@thetwenty5th My brother had an allergie, so, we did not have a dog. Its simpel. When my brother left to live on his own, we got a dog. He overgrew his allergie, funny enough, and now he has e dog to.
Dogs are pack animals and in the absence of their pack, you Mr build it are the pack leader.When a dog is isolated from its pack,( The family) it becomes depressed, like people do. Although it's a pretty box, that's all it is. It's way too small for a dog of that breed! It should be big enough for it to lay stretched out without touching the sides in any direction, unless you want a dog with growth and muscle issues, have a 3 inch foam base at the very least to prevent pressure sores, a flap on the door and an air vent. If you wanted a guard dog you should've bought a Wi-Fi alarm, not a golden retriever that's commonly known to be exceptional around families and needs lots of contact! I'll bet a week's wage it was inside and part of the family pack when it was a cute puppy. If you can't keep a family pet in a family environment, give it to someone who can. ( Keyboard warriors save your keystrokes, I don't read the replies, and never respond. As a veteran kennel hand, I know what I'm talking about, I've been educated in colleges on biological, physiological, and sociological factors in dogs)
I have lost all respect for Mr. Built It and his family. Is the dog never coming in the house? If you don't want a dog in your house, don't get a dog. This is just so wrong. The house is too small for him and he only 9 months....ugh. Why do idiots get dogs?
This is sick, but really overbuilt and a lot of the details weren’t thought out fully. Def went look over function, but I guess that’s kinda the brand in a sense for the viewers.
It will hit the concrete apron poured out front of it. It was obviously poured sloping away from the garage so the water will run off it as if it’s coming from the sky. Duh

@mrbuildit what watch you wearing in this video?
Plot twist: the dog will stay on the couch forever and never use this house
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Facts
Bigger plot twist… the kids will try and play in it.
The only one that will be in the dog house will be him when the wife gets mad at him. So at least he made it big enough.
I'm afraid the dog isn't allowed in the house.

heat rises, if you want to have a space well heated put the heating element on the bottom

Otherwise looks great.
Turned out great... how about giving him a porch light(fake) and his own address numbers to complete his doggy condo. Lol. I love your work!!😊

"Radiates down". My boy don't knowhow heat works.
He's got bigger problems than a bad understanding of hot air rising, like the fact that all that heat is going to escape immediately due to the entrance being always open.
You're referring to convection heat. But radiation heat works differently, it transfers electromagnetically (all directions).
0:33 don’t we all 😂
😂😂😂😂
Mike from Modusrtial Maker: I built Tex a rooftop doghouse.
Mr. Build It to Mike: Hold my beer! 😆
I hope that this is just a fun toy house for him to go when y'all are hanging out outside. Otherwise, he should be inside with you since where you live has crazy highs in the summer and lows in the winter.
I couldn’t agree more!
Doogos (Especially Goldens) love to be inside with their humans.
Wait, no auto fill for the water? 😂
Awesome, love your channel.
You should think about adding a light
Next you'll want him to install a doorbell
What look cool is some solar powered lights on the 2 posts
You should’ve painted it dark black like you said! I’ve never seen dark black before 😂
Water is going to run off that roof and into your garage. You’re going to have to put up a gutter and angled downspout…….
Itll hit the concrete apron that is poured and sloped away from the garage and run towards the yard….
Yeah, I was wondering about that too when I watched it. Even if the concrete apron wicks it away as the other reply said, I think it would be safer to have the roof slope from the side of the house into the yard directly.
@@robertbusek30 That would have been a better design. Positive sloping away from the house on both sides….

@@joshuablaney8697Could have saved money on not using insulation at all. Whole point is to keep air from moving in or out and without a door..
@@lukesandstedt8461 that too lol
You are very inventive with your body movements, using them as levers and props
You need to use your influence with Ryobi/Rigid to get them to do a 18V Coil Nailer!

Awesome dog house, I think I will try and build this for my two chow chows and see how it goes (much cheaper of course)
Jigsaw works well to cut the osb
Great Job on the build👍 Cant wait until the next project.
Ganz prima ! Der Hund ist ja auch Teil der Familie. Also soll er ebenso gut wohnen.
Wow this came out really nice!! ❤

You should include the name /artist/album of the music that you use on the videos

Yall, it looks good just let him have fun….

Underlayment goes under the drip edge on the rakes and at the top..it goes over the drip edge at the bottom..
"Like a modern build" Me, an avid Modern Builds viewer: "Nice"
Hopefully it doesn’t poor water into the garage with the way that roof is setup.
That was exactly my concern, though another poster noted that the concrete in front of the garage may be sloped enough to run the water into the yard. Still, I would have designed the roof to slope off the side of the house and go directly into the yard.
One of these days i pray to god i can my dogs some houses fr
Sorry but heat won’t radiate down. It rises only. Best to put it on the floor I would think. Lucky dog.
Heat will radiate down it just wont as efficiently because its not assisted by convection.
@@CaptainBlueTechIn such a small space, having the heat radiate down might not matter so much…
That's one lucky pooch.
right off the bat: dogs like to be able to see out....definitely put a window in it. Hot air rises so not the ceiling. maybe on the wall. put some kind of plants on those cement footings. that looks terrible.
Dude, i think you skipped basic science class. heat rises. it needs to vent. otherwise i will be like an oven in there

The only roof you weren't afraid to go on top😂
I’m confused, during winter time he will be out? How he will get heated with the door open and also, why he would be outside?
You're going to need some kind of ventilation in that dog house. He's going to get hot in there.
Fantastic work!

You don’t want the nails in the shingles to align with where another shingle lines up. Will cause future leaks.

How do u do it video after video even your dog house video is a great one!
Should put a little window on the side.

Looks small for him. Looks like he’s not gonna have that much room once he gets a year.
In our country, we need a wall in it with an opening at the back so the dog can lie down out of the wind.....
In California, that would rent about 1400 a month
If it’s too hot or too cold, Rocky should be inside with his family.
Exactly. Keeping a dog outside his family is terrible. Like they say, a dog is a part of your family- life but the family is the dogs whole life.

Powder coated metal post Alex
Thats better and bigger than my house
U going to put some lights on it.???
Overkill on the lumber 🤔
Don't let your dog drink out of that.Get him a stainless steel one
Step one: measure dog 😂
What is the plan for the water run-off that is directed at your garage door?
Good question
It will hit the concrete apron poured out front of it. It was obviously poured sloping away from the garage so the water will run off it as if it’s coming from the sky. Duh
4th? Lol I don’t think I’ve ever been this early on ANY video!! lol
Why won’t he live in your house? 😥
😂😂😂😂
Dog will jump on roof of dog house and then on the roof of the house from there
All that work and it’s too small for a puppy. 4 more months it’ll be no more use to him .
These thumbnails get more click-bait cringe each time. Love the content, but they've already aged like milk
Blame Mr beast and the RUclips algorithm

IT NEEDS WIFI TOO.
1st!
I think your dog's not going to fit in there should have went bigger
i clicked to watch and see how he makes a upper deck and pool and neither happened. still cool build but L
5th great video
