Beautiful! We had an open staircase in our old house and just put a crate with open door under it. Not very elegant. Not nearly as nice as yours!

wife is petite and from both sides she can reach the entire area, yes our dog loves it she slept in it before I was finished while I was working on it. I put a 3W LED light in it as well that I leave on it is not bright just a nice warm glow so it's not pitch black

Here is her dog house I built her 4 years ago when we first got her, insulated and screened windows front back and side for air flow......she loves it and actually uses it 90% of the time she is outside especially when it is hot out......

they are known as ShiChi which is a Shih Tzu Chihuahua Mix she is turning 5 years old in Nov

cute bit more nose with a shichi and less over bite.....but other than that stays about 12 lbs

We did this once...for a much larger dog!

The are nice! I'd want the one with the locking door. Hehehe.

Love the trailer house, and glad to know the stairs house is easy to clean! i have two little dogs who bring all kinds of dirty surprises into their beds.

Well, being a dog person myself, I throughly commend the great dog hide-a-way you built.

One question, how do you access the interior for cleaning purposes?

well first off she is an inside dog aside from going out for walks and or on the fenced deck. So in saying that she is not the type of dog that comes in from digging holes ect ect anyway as I mentioned before my wife is petite and she can reach the entire area from either side to keep it clean. as for house trained she is 100% with a 100% success rate with puppy pads. we started her on them from day one and to this day she uses them. we can be watching TV in our sitting room on the top floor of our house and she will make her way down to the main floor bathroom where we have her mat and she will do her business and then come back up......
