Wooden Dog Kennels

What size kennel do I need for my dog?

Choosing the right size kennel depends on your dog’s breed, activity level, and how much time they’ll spend inside.

• For small to medium breeds, our Single Kennels for Dogs, Double Dog Kennels & Runs and Pent Duo kennels offer a compact yet comfortable space.
• Larger or multiple dogs may be better suited to our Triple Dog Kennels, Four Bay Dog Kennels, or even our spacious Five Bay Dog Kennels and Six Bay Kennels.
• For weather protection or open-sided resting areas, our Dog Shelters are a great option for flexibility and airflow.

Every kennel is built to allow room for movement, sleeping, and comfort. Still unsure? Reach out and we’ll guide you to the perfect size based on your dog’s unique needs.

Do I need to kennel train my dog?

Kennel training is highly recommended, especially for puppies or older dogs that are new to outdoor kennels. It ensures your dog sees the kennel as a safe and calm retreat, not a punishment. For more information, read our detailed guide of how to kennel train an older dog.

Proper kennel training helps reduce anxiety, increases security, and ensures your dog transitions smoothly into their new environment.

Can I build a dog kennel?

If you’re a hands-on type, you’ll appreciate our Express Kennels. These are self-assembly wooden kennels designed for easy at-home construction using clear instructions and all required fittings. They’re ideal for those seeking a fast turnaround or remote delivery where on-site installation isn’t practical.
