We are on the verge of getting a dog. I was thinking we would get a dog house and make it an outdoor dog. Thank you for setting me straight. You have saved me a lot of time, not to mention the expense of a dog house I would no doubt have been selling in a couple of months.
If you did get a Dog House - pretty soon e-bay would be your friend! LOL
Do crate train your dog if it's a puppy. Best and fastest way to house-break them.
All jokes aside, you can't have a better smoke detector or burgular alarm than a dog or cat in your house.
Use the money you were going to spend on a doghouse. You won't regret buying them.

I'm not sure this would work with dogs, but in order to get the cats to deign to use a recently purchased 2 story kitty basketweave condo, I informed them all in a loud voice that they must NOT, under any circumstances, come near "my" new furniture. It took about 10' for one of them to move into the lower level, and now they race to see who will get there first.
I'm so glad you got it even before the beginning!
