1. You should begin your dog house building process by making sure the house is large enough to accommodate your Tibetan Spaniel’s potential mature size. Humans enjoy having around two feet of air overhead in a room to live without feeling boxed in. The Tibetan Spaniel will also appreciate having that much room. The comfort zone for both people and Tibetan Spaniels is around 1/3 of their standing height. To figure out how much space the Tibetan Spaniel will need get a ruler and measure your Tibetan Spaniel. Measure him standing straight up, resting on his haunches and above all measure the full dimension of the Tibetan Spaniel when he is in the most stretched out, comfortable, and relaxed position he can get into. Your Tibetan Spaniel should be able to gaze out the front door while both sitting and standing. So the Tibetan Spaniel won’t have to significantly lower his front shoulders or drag his stomach, make sure that entrance is tall enough. Stand above the Tibetan Spaniel and measure the width of the broadest point of the Tibetan Spaniel’s shoulders.

2. Don’t forget to elevate the house several inches from the ground to allow water and air to flow underneath. To dissuade bugs from invading the house, and taking your Tibetan Spaniel’s health into consideration, remember how important ventilation is. Put in a few nickel-sized openings in the panels under the eaves. Put a wind block inside the dog house so the Tibetan Spaniel can use the warmth of its body to heat the space if it is really cold or windy outside. Think about adding a partial wall which will permit your Tibetan Spaniel to escape the bad weather.

Your beloved pet would probably love having a pillow or some sort of bedding to snooze on.
