something we did for our dog.....put magnets on the entry flaps and and the ledge interior where he enters. He can still easily get in and out, but it will help keep the wind from blowing in.
Amazing and beautiful doghouse! I know Joey can feel the love that y'all give her! I wish more owners would give their animals the love and attention that you all do! All of your furry and feathered family members, are so blessed to have you as their humans❣🥰
One thing I can recommend with any animal is to give them options. So in Joey's house, the only thing I might change personally is leaving part of the flooring without the heating pad so that she has the option of moving off it if it gets too warm. When you add heating pads to the kitty house leave some spaces without.
I've never seen a channel who truly cares about their animals and they're actually determined to take care of them even though you don't get a lot of attention. Your videos are very fun and enjoyable!
Wonderful dog house. Maybe one suggestion when propping on the side of your building and electrical, to add a tiny gutter to aim the water back to the front / side of the dog house away from your building foundation and electrical outlet.
One thing I love about this channel is that we have watched you guys go from moving into a new house to making a working and functional farm and we get to follow you all throughout. Keep up the good work guys
I think the dog house looks great. My only suggestion is to insulate the bottom with some 2" rockwool (or whatever leftover insulation you may have in your stash) and cover that with a little more wood. You might want to do that with the cat house too.
NGL I usually don't pay attention to the sponsored bit of most youtube videos. Like, even if I don't actively click past the ad bit, I glaze over and don't pay attention at all, but yall show some genuinely really interesting and useful products in legit settings--and *how they work* which grabs my attention and keeps me focused. It's not just that the products are interesting, yall make it clear how things work and how to use them in real world applications and that makes all the difference.
when I got my barn cats I found out that blankets and fabric will hold in moister and not dry. So its allot better to only use wood shavings and hay/straw Happy holidays!
How long will it take for the cats to discover that the Dog's house is heated? I think the kittens will move in quickly and the older more grumpy, or less tolerant, cats may enjoy having their own space, lol. We placed a magnetic strip along the bottom of both the doorway and flaps on our doggy door to help keep wind and rain out. After a few days her fear of the doorway will fade. Wanting to be with her pack, which she feels is the family, will take longer but I bet it will be 1 or more of the cats that will fill that void at night. The farm animals are not that bonded to her.
I know a friend of mine in the KC area had issues with an aggressive blue healer. A training company called Sit Means Sit came to her and worked with her dog on her property. Worth a shot, good luck.
I love how the Doggie House looks, and I can see that it will be a challenge telling Joey to go to bed but I know you guys will be able to train her on where her new home is.
At first I was bummed out that he’d be sleeping in a lousy store bought dog house or you’d make one with just wood, window, and regular bed. But this is something my home doesn’t even have. A heater and a heated bed…WHAT?! That’s amazing! I just know hes going to have the best sleep he ever had.
Put the pillow Joey has been using on the porch in the new dog house. It'll be a reminder that new house is for sleeping due to the pillow being recognized as where they sleep now.
Wow Joey girl...that house is absolutely amazing... great job you guys and seeing you make it possible to be warm inside...makes my heart smile because so many animals never get that kind of love...👏👏👏💜💜💜💜
That doghouse is AMAZING!! Just so you know cats VERY MUCH crave warmth. Their house is AMAZING also. However, they would be a lot more comfortable with at least, a small source of heat. Both houses look great together btw.😊 --Jessica from Florida 🌞
I love the new doghouse. It's almost as big as my apartment. I have a feeling that as soon as it gets cold enough and Joey gets used to her new crib you guys won't see her again till spring..
@@whitehouseonthehill , she's a really sweet dog, and so pretty. I hope you're able to find her a trainer soon. She's actually a good dog with just a couple of bad habits. She's very smart and should catch on to training quickly
You should put those flaps on both sides. That will help keep it warm by creating an air pocket. Air is very insulating but it looks like you are going to have a lot of heating for Joey and they'll be super warm
Did you give the cats a heater and heated floor? If you didn't, you know cats are heat seekers. They might take over Joey's house! 😊 Becky is super-mom! Look how she holds her sleeping baby while staining the dog house! Amazing!
Great house. Makes me want to upgrade my dogs house. But here in southern California it doesn't get nearly as cold. One thing I would have done if I were you is not put on the vinyl flaps until she got used to going in and out first. You can tell they confused her a bit when she was preferring the window to go in and out.
The window that opens will keep her house from over heating in the summer...besides dogs love looking out windows! She'd likely really enjoy a porch to rest upon. Tho't maybe there'd be an overhang across the front roof line...
Just a tip but my family and I have a cattle business here in Mexico and one thing we do you might wanna try is getting big 55 Gallon plastic drums and cutting them in half to put the hay, alfalfa, corn, etc. it’s because cows are picky and won’t eat around where they have pooped so putting their food in containers helps avoid them wasting food! Love the channel bro!!!
this channel is the inly thing that is giving me the energy to stay alive, thank you guys for posting these videos of your farm, its amazing and I can't wait till the day I can safely say that I have a family and a farm myself, just wanted to say that so you guys might potentially keep making these videos for the few people that are like me.
I really love your build designs. They are so well thought out, have clean lines and are practical. Of course you've got the best team supporting & helping 🙂
There are advantages to having a trainer come to you, she will not be distracted by strange places, strange smells and people, etc. however, I have found the advantages to going to a class with other people and dogs and the very distractions I mentioned before will make for a better trained dog in the long run than having private lessons. If you take your dog to a class with distractions away from your farm and do your daily practice where she is comfortable at home she learns that it doesn’t matter where she is and what is going on, her job is to watch and respond to you, her handler, at all times. You can also get Joey used to taking direction from your wife and older boys if that is what you want. Also, the sooner you start her training the better it will be for her. I don’t know what your desire to have private lessons is specifically, but having had my dogs in both, I feel my dogs were more dependable in all situations having been exposed to noise and distractions from the start. May I suggest you locate some classes off property and visit them, talk to the instructor, and to other people training their dogs. Also, if you do find someone who will agree to come to your farm and do private lessons you have to be prepared to pay for the time it takes for the instructor to drone to and from your place plus the weekly amount he would earn staying close to his/her training facility and working with six to ten pairs each week. The cost could be prohibitive when what you need now is beginner basic training with you being the person teaching Joey. That is just my opinion, coming to you from a 72 year old who has had many dogs, all of which received basic training and most advanced training in both class and private situations.
Basic Dog Obedience 101: Step One: learn to speak 'dog'. Communication is an absolute must if you are to maintain a good relationship with your dog. Practice interpreting what your dog is trying to tell you with your kids; Joey will let you know if you guessed right. Also, try thinking about things from a dog's perspective. They exist to please you, so the things they've done in the past to make you praise them or laugh will be the things they want to do most often. This leads to easy habits that may be hard for YOU to break. Step Two: lay down the law. Patience on your part is key. You don't always need to punish your dog, unless they are doing something dangerous for her, your family, or your animals. Joey seems wise enough in this area to avoid dangerous behavior, though, so I wouldn't worry about direct punishment too much unless you're concerned that she'll jump all over Grandma. Instead of punishment, deny rewards for other bad behavior. Barking for food? Wait to give food until she quiets down. Scratching at the door? Don't even open that door. If she continues naughty behavior, deny your attention all together. Don't even look at her until she calms down. Step Three: become a great pack leader. Dogs naturally want to follow a strong leader, and the strongest pack leaders are confidant, direct, and don't take guff from anybody. Approach every situation as though you were going to succeed, and make that your mantra.
I could never imagine my babies sleeping outside. They're softie little pitbulls that are afraid of their own shadow. With their thin coats and scaredy cat personality I think they'd prefer to stay in warm bed with me. Beautiful work and well thought out!
You also might want to add a small airway at the top of the doghouse so it doesn’t get too humid, we didn’t put one originally for our’s and the dogs refused to sleep there.
Very nice- I build mine out of insulation board but want to build one out of wood with insulation board inside. For heaters I bought 2 empty new 1-gallon paint cans that I installed like build fixtures in and drill holes on the outside of the cans, so they let heat out and don't overheat the bulbs. I then put the bulb in and put the lid on and hang them inside the 2x3 ft condos and keeps them at 75 degrees and tad more even when its 19 degrees out. Just put a small opening on one end so my cats can get in and not to much cold goes in. So, when they want to be out in the backyard they get in there and stay nice and toasty. I monitor it with a temp gauge plus usually use 100watt regular old style litght bulbs only since LED's don't put out much heat. Plus, it's cheap heating. Window is a great idea I'll be installing.
Great review of the product, looks actually very useful. Now I have to check back over the winter to see how the dog likes his house! And yes the match up with the cat house looks great!!!
Since her house is on legs flaps around the outside or hay under her house might be a good idea to break up the wind and keep the floor from freezing. Its beautiful good job! Everyone!
I put two windows in my doghouse and I don't regret it one bit… Neither do my dogs, which is combined with three cats that connects through the back of the dog House onto my porch through a secret passageway. It's very convenient because the dogs can go in and out or stay in the doghouse if I have to go away for extended periods. Because of this design I've also been able to avoid using a cat litter box for a few years now. My cats are trained to go outside. So the animals have free roam in the house and usually the porch door is open because it's kind of part of the house but can be closed… So through that porch there's a little doggie door in the wall which is the back door to the doghouse free into the kennel area. I even put a wire ceiling above the whole 12 x 14 area so nothing can get in or out.
Nice to see you guys always doing something for your animals like getting the house set up for the barn cats and now this amazing dog house for Joey! It looks like it'll be used very well and I think the window ended up as a success, now Joey can look right out at the amazing view of your farm! Looks like Joey will be having some neighbours🐱🐈 with matching houses! Can't wait for the special thing coming about Dolly and Maisy too, keeps me curious... and possibly anytime soon will there be any emu eggs? But no rush one thing at a time, bamboo will get his moment... cows update first! And about the incident that happened with Joey awhile back, happy to see people reaching out to help but I hope eventually it isn't too confusing, you know? and that Joey manages to learn basic things like controlling the jumping and that kind of things.
try to breed Bamboo to both Cashew & Peek a boo Alternating Months or Quarterly Nest can be made inside the House with Bamboo there and Girls have Alternate time being in there with him You can Incubate their Emu Eggs Emus form breeding pairs in the summer and stay together through the fall, when the first clutch of eggs is laid. The male builds a rough nest of twigs, leaves, and grass on the ground where the female lays 5 to 15 avocado-green eggs over several days. ... In a good season, a female emu may lay three complete clutches!
Maybe emu not mating with male as "just friends". Mjght check w zoo to see if they are selective. Her running energy might be from wanting to mate, frustration, but she loves dog running along with her.
Honestly it’d be so cool just to help work on that farm I never realized just how big it was until the cow part of the video and the burning cattails video near y’all’s pond
I have the same type of dog house but I use straw in it to keep the dogs warm, it has room for 3 border collies but only one wants to sleep in there at a time. I have no window but do find it produces quite a bit of condensation on the inside roof. I bleach the roof inside a few times a year. I also have felt on the roof so the dogs can stand on the top and use it was a look out.
The cats may even let Joey have her house if they can snuggle with her or if you add some warm mats to their place. 😂 Also, it's less helpful as a door or a hatch, but she might like one of those semi-spherical windows that give a little more of a wide angle view if she's anxious to keep an eye on what's up outside. I've seen them for as low as around $25 on Amazon.
I love your dog house, but you should have a piece of foam or some cushion under the sheet metal to help when it rains hard. The noise can be deafening. My beloved dog Shep, rather sleep under the stairs of the porch during rain storms, then use the dog house. Couldn't understand why till I went into the dog house one rain storm and a few minutes was enough for me.
You guy's need a Great White Pierneese! Sorry For miss spelling! They are great for protecting the animals & great with children! I have heard they ride them when their small🤗
I love the way you just make these pet and animal houses. Perhaps Joey might have been encouraged to stay in the house with the bedding from the wet room. I love the way the new cats follow you round to watch what you are doing.
You guys would do great with dog training online. The trainer doesn't have to be there we just have to be able to see that you guys are communicating and moving correctly and as long as you have an internet connection that you can do video chat with a trainer you guys will do great. Also be confident that you will do well in any form of dog training that you do because that is half. You need to be confident in yourself that you will be able to do this because if you're not confident Joey is going to pick up on that and it is going to be a lot harder. Confidence is key. Dog training isn't as difficult as you might think it is. Dog training is learning how to get the basics down and then you continue from there. If you can get the basics down by talking to the dog trainer through a video chat you guys will be able to do all the work from there because remember the dog trainers aren't any different than you are. Just give it a shot. I can give you some tips and pointers to get you guys in the right direction to figure it out on your own.
That's true but the trainee also has to do their diligent part in executing what they've been shown to do. I've helped train a few dogs but the owners havn't been interested in spending time with the dog so it can learn the commands. So heartbreaking.
Ceser Millan almost always focuses more on re-training the humans than the dogs. That's why communication is so important, is because so many people are failing to communicate with their dog.
@@paulinegrabham448 and that's why the dog training is completely about training the owner and not the dog. I've had dogs just show up for a few classes and the owner can't get the dog to do anything and I walk over the dog listens immediately usually because the owner hasn't been doing it correctly. My problems were always with the owners and never with the dogs except for one was a combination of the dog and the owner but that was because the owner was letting the dog be a spoiled brat.
you would love a kubota tractor. I hope through your connections you can get your hands on one. the forks attachment is so useful and would help so much with projects like this.
something we did for our dog.....put magnets on the entry flaps and and the ledge interior where he enters. He can still easily get in and out, but it will help keep the wind from blowing in.
Oh Oh I’m so excited
Great idea Christy!
Not a bad idea... these flaps don't seem to move at all, but I'll watch it on a windy day and see how it does
@@whitehouseonthehill also keeps cats out , etc they don't push throuh
Ok t
This is the 1st video of yours I’ve seen, very cinematic & engaging!

Wonderful dog house. Maybe one suggestion when propping on the side of your building and electrical, to add a tiny gutter to aim the water back to the front / side of the dog house away from your building foundation and electrical outlet.
Your off the grid dog house is amazing. So humanly thought out. It’s beautiful. Lucky puppy. You have beautiful children.
One thing I love about this channel is that we have watched you guys go from moving into a new house to making a working and functional farm and we get to follow you all throughout. Keep up the good work guys
Thank you, Roger, we appreciate it!
Joey's house is awesome. Your family pitches in and gets the jobs done. Love you all.
Thanks, Barbie!
Hope next year we see the big avery come to life...looking forward to that since you started the project...

I think the dog house looks great. My only suggestion is to insulate the bottom with some 2" rockwool (or whatever leftover insulation you may have in your stash) and cover that with a little more wood. You might want to do that with the cat house too.
I do love how gentle and affectionate with your boys!!! The will be emotionally and mentally strong and kind!
NGL I usually don't pay attention to the sponsored bit of most youtube videos. Like, even if I don't actively click past the ad bit, I glaze over and don't pay attention at all, but yall show some genuinely really interesting and useful products in legit settings--and *how they work* which grabs my attention and keeps me focused. It's not just that the products are interesting, yall make it clear how things work and how to use them in real world applications and that makes all the difference.
when I got my barn cats I found out that blankets and fabric will hold in moister and not dry. So its allot better to only use wood shavings and hay/straw Happy holidays!
How long will it take for the cats to discover that the Dog's house is heated? I think the kittens will move in quickly and the older more grumpy, or less tolerant, cats may enjoy having their own space, lol. We placed a magnetic strip along the bottom of both the doorway and flaps on our doggy door to help keep wind and rain out. After a few days her fear of the doorway will fade. Wanting to be with her pack, which she feels is the family, will take longer but I bet it will be 1 or more of the cats that will fill that void at night. The farm animals are not that bonded to her.
We'll put some heated mats in the cathouse as well so they can be just as spoiled 😄
I know a friend of mine in the KC area had issues with an aggressive blue healer. A training company called Sit Means Sit came to her and worked with her dog on her property. Worth a shot, good luck.
Around 6:25 where Becky is holding baby Isabella, Isabella's eyes are sooooo pretty. Keep up good work y'all
I love how the Doggie House looks, and I can see that it will be a challenge telling Joey to go to bed but I know you guys will be able to train her on where her new home is.
She figured it out pretty quickly... she's in there most nights now
She’s the sweetest pup and she definitely deserves the best doghouse 💗 LOVE you guys! Happy holidays 🎄
Great matching dog house for Joey. She now has equal status as barn cats :)
Just love your kids actions :)
Thanks, Barbara!

I appreciate it... I think she loves it!
She’s a girl :P
I think you guys should definitely keep the window! It is adorable and it will be perfect for some ventilation in the summer!
Cant wait for the day you build a larger than life size doll house for Isabella! 😍
Oh, the treehouse is coming 😂
Put the pillow Joey has been using on the porch in the new dog house. It'll be a reminder that new house is for sleeping due to the pillow being recognized as where they sleep now.
Think I have said this to y'all before, I get such joy and feel happiness when watch your videos...... Bless you all for that gift.
I love how much time and effort you give to each of your animals. You guys are amazing
Thank you, I appreciate it!

Def dog house. My house is a cat house, and we humans are her servants lol
I have a sign that says:
Dogs have Masters
Cats have Staff
Great review of the product, looks actually very useful. Now I have to check back over the winter to see how the dog likes his house! And yes the match up with the cat house looks great!!!
Window is nice for getting in to clean out. Alternate is to put the roof on hinges so you can open it up and reach in from the top.
Since her house is on legs flaps around the outside or hay under her house might be a good idea to break up the wind and keep the floor from freezing. Its beautiful good job! Everyone!
Becky, the window is key! Good build you guys!
Props to your kid. He balanced that out with you much better then most would
Window is a NEED for the summer cooling and to move the out humidity during the winter keeping everything mold free and healthy
Joy feels very loved . You guys are awesome

@@doomfloof101 hmmm interesting question...
try to breed Bamboo to both
Cashew & Peek a boo
Alternating Months or Quarterly
Nest can be made inside the House with
Bamboo there and Girls have Alternate time being in there with him
You can Incubate their Emu Eggs
Emus form breeding pairs in the summer and stay together through the fall,
when the first clutch of eggs is laid.
The male builds a rough nest of twigs, leaves, and grass on the ground
where the female lays 5 to 15 avocado-green eggs over several days. ...
In a good season, a female emu may lay three complete clutches!
Yes ! Keep the baby near the paint so he can inhale the paint thinner good ....... I like the doggy house , great idea with the vinil.
You are a genius to develop such fine dog house. Your kids are terrific. They love to work because you are great teacher and they love to be with you.
Maybe emu not mating with male as "just friends". Mjght check w zoo to see if they are selective. Her running energy might be from wanting to mate, frustration, but she loves dog running along with her.
Honestly it’d be so cool just to help work on that farm I never realized just how big it was until the cow part of the video and the burning cattails video near y’all’s pond
Usually dont need a heater in a doghouse. Just insulate it and make it just the right size, the dogs bodytemperatur usually warms it up just enough.
Much love to you all! I adore your channel!💕💕💕
I have the same type of dog house but I use straw in it to keep the dogs warm, it has room for 3 border collies but only one wants to sleep in there at a time. I have no window but do find it produces quite a bit of condensation on the inside roof. I bleach the roof inside a few times a year. I also have felt on the roof so the dogs can stand on the top and use it was a look out.
Feel the burn jake. Homestead fit.
Next …. A cubby for the kids so that Joey can have the dog house back 😉
Your boys make this old grandma laugh out loud, thanks 😂🌻
That's a great house for him. I hope he loves it as much as we do ❤️
Such an awesome dog house! It’s practically a tiny home❤️. Joey is a lucky pooch.
Thanks, Dawn!
You Guys are just the best. I just Subscribed. You deserv it!
A guy i worked with made his dogs a house under his house and ran vents to it from his house heating and cooling. They loved it.
Good evening everyone 👋🏻👋🏻 I think the dog house is more like the dog palace it’s lovely 😊
The day you put in the aviary will be the best video you’ve ever made!
The dog house is amazing!!!!! I love how you build it. You are such an amazing builder
You build the nicest homes for your animals❤️
Isabella looks EXACTLY like a cabbage patch doll! Such a cutey!
The cats may even let Joey have her house if they can snuggle with her or if you add some warm mats to their place. 😂 Also, it's less helpful as a door or a hatch, but she might like one of those semi-spherical windows that give a little more of a wide angle view if she's anxious to keep an eye on what's up outside. I've seen them for as low as around $25 on Amazon.
I love your dog house, but you should have a piece of foam or some cushion under the sheet metal to help when it rains hard. The noise can be deafening. My beloved dog Shep, rather sleep under the stairs of the porch during rain storms, then use the dog house. Couldn't understand why till I went into the dog house one rain storm and a few minutes was enough for me.
Love the dog house. It matches nicely ✌🏻
Lucky Joey!!! Very nice doghouse. 🥰
Been almost 2 weeks since last upload , Hoping your enjoying the Holiday's and be well!
Good luck guys❤️ keep using calming music in the back ground it was nice 👍🏼
Thank You, from Long Island 💕💝
You guy's need a Great White Pierneese! Sorry
For miss spelling! They are great for protecting the animals & great with children! I have heard they ride them when their small🤗
i love the heater ideas. thanks for sharing.
I think the next project should be to build your boys a clubhouse. Then when Isabella get old enough, build her a princess playhouse 🤗
I love the way you just make these pet and animal houses. Perhaps Joey might have been encouraged to stay in the house with the bedding from the wet room. I love the way the new cats follow you round to watch what you are doing.
Yes add the bedding from mud room to his new house! Such a good doggie!
Put Joey's old pillow in dog house👏👏👏👍👍👍💋💋💋💋💋
You guys would do great with dog training online. The trainer doesn't have to be there we just have to be able to see that you guys are communicating and moving correctly and as long as you have an internet connection that you can do video chat with a trainer you guys will do great. Also be confident that you will do well in any form of dog training that you do because that is half. You need to be confident in yourself that you will be able to do this because if you're not confident Joey is going to pick up on that and it is going to be a lot harder. Confidence is key.
Dog training isn't as difficult as you might think it is. Dog training is learning how to get the basics down and then you continue from there. If you can get the basics down by talking to the dog trainer through a video chat you guys will be able to do all the work from there because remember the dog trainers aren't any different than you are. Just give it a shot. I can give you some tips and pointers to get you guys in the right direction to figure it out on your own.
That's true but the trainee also has to do their diligent part in executing what they've been shown to do. I've helped train a few dogs but the owners havn't been interested in spending time with the dog so it can learn the commands. So heartbreaking.
Ceser Millan almost always focuses more on re-training the humans than the dogs. That's why communication is so important, is because so many people are failing to communicate with their dog.
@@paulinegrabham448 and that's why the dog training is completely about training the owner and not the dog. I've had dogs just show up for a few classes and the owner can't get the dog to do anything and I walk over the dog listens immediately usually because the owner hasn't been doing it correctly. My problems were always with the owners and never with the dogs except for one was a combination of the dog and the owner but that was because the owner was letting the dog be a spoiled brat.
Nice to see y’all are keeping updated
you would love a kubota tractor. I hope through your connections you can get your hands on one. the forks attachment is so useful and would help so much with projects like this.
You are an AWESOME builder! I wish I had skills like that! I loved the cat house you built also. Back to the video now.
Thanks!
That is such a great idea! Her house is so cute! Love it!
You guys are so cool! Every single one of your animals are happy! That's awesome God bless you and yours from me and mine
Dude you are surrounded by many tiny helpers!! XD So cute!
