We are putingt a dog door going into our unheated, uninsulated garage+ building walls and a ceiling, big enough to turn around in and tall enough for her to walk. We plan on putting a board on top of the cement so the dog is not exposed to the cold surface, and we will line it w/ straw. We were trying to figure out how to heat it. I looked into various heating elements for dog houses, light bulbs, heated pads and the like. She is still a puppy and is a chewer so I would not trust her w/ anything she could chew. My thought was this... leaving a door made of some sort of fencing/wire that will allow us to clean the house and to easily put her in. Then using one of our space heaters placing it near the door blowing in at her. She is mostly an inside dog but we can not trust her in the house yet alone while we are at work. I only work part time opposite shifts from my husband, she will only need to be in there a few hrs. Winter is coming though and I worry she will be cold. Ideas? is this
