Sheds have people-friendly doors that allow you to get in and out of the new dog house to clean bedding and check for dangers, but most dogs fail at opening a door on their own. a quick fix for a shed involves leaving the doors open when the dog is using the dog house and hanging a tarp or burlap over the entrance.. Turning a shed into a kennel can be a fairly easy task, but may take some time depending on the kennel you have in mind. if it is for 1 or 2 dogs, the transition will be simple. if you are planning to use it to house multiple animals, the work will take a bit longer and cost more.. �
