The Ultimate Climate Controlled Outdoor Dog House and Kennel

Outdoor doghouses have evolved — and the Executive Estate line represents the highest tier of that evolution. These aren’t “dog houses.” They’re residential grade, climate controlled outdoor dog homes engineered for year round comfort, safety, and luxury living. 

If you’re researching insulated doghouses, heated and cooled kennels, or premium outdoor dog runs, this guide gives you the complete breakdown of the Executive Estate collection — including sizes, features, climate systems, materials, and how to choose the right configuration for your dog.

What Makes the Executive Estate Different From Standard Doghouses?

Most outdoor doghouses on the market fall into one of three categories:

• Thin panel plastic houses
• Basic wooden sheds with no insulation
• Metal or chain link kennel runs with no shelter

The Executive Estate is in a completely different class. The Executive Estate collection starts with high quality dog house with kennel made of residential grade materials that you select.  The buying process allows you to customize every feature, so you pay for only the options that truly matter for your dog’s comfort, safety, and your own peace of mind.

Forget the laborious trip to the store to spend hours with a salesman.  Select all the customizations you want. A representative from Dogominium will reach out to you to reconfirm all the customizations and provide an estimate for delivery and placement in your backyard.  It is the Carvana® approach to buying a high quality doghouse kennel combo and lets you avoid the showroom and salesman. 

A Residential Grade Structure Built for Dogs

Instead of flimsy panels, the Executive Estate uses:

• Residential grade insulated walls, floors, and ceilings
• LP SmartSide, Duratemp, Board and Batten, or Metal siding per your selection
• Architectural shingles, cedar planks, or metal roofing
• Polyurea coated interior floors
• Composite decking on runs
• Full electrical system available to support additional features HVAC ready climate control
• Automatic water systems for the owner that is away for extended periods
• And much more.

This is the closest thing to a tiny home for dogs — engineered for longevity, safety, and comfort.

• Harsh winters

Climate Control & Insulation: The Heart of the Executive Estate

This is where the Executive Estate truly separates itself from every other outdoor doghouse on the market.

• The Elite model has R 11 and the Traditional model has R 13 insulation

This creates a stable thermal envelope, just like a home.

Construction Quality: Built Like a Home, Not a Kennel

Premium Siding Options

Choose between: 

LP SmartSide® siding is a premium engineered wood exterior cladding designed to deliver the warm, natural look of real wood with dramatically enhanced durability. Instead of traditional lumber, LP uses wood strands coated in industrial grade resins, waxes, and a proprietary zinc borate treatment. This process—called SmartGuard®—fortifies every strand against moisture, rot, termites, and impact damage. The result is a siding material that looks like beautifully milled cedar but performs like a next generation composite.

DuraTemp® siding is a premium real wood plywood panel siding manufactured by Roseburg Forest Products. It’s built with a strong Douglas fir veneer core and finished with a durable hardboard face, giving it the authentic warmth of natural wood while dramatically improving stability and longevity. Unlike raw plywood or OSB panels, DuraTemp is engineered to resist surface checking, splitting, and warping — all while maintaining a crisp, cedar grain texture that finishes beautifully.

Board & Batten siding is a classic vertical siding style that blends traditional craftsmanship with clean, modern lines. It’s built using wide vertical boards with narrower trim strips — called battens — installed over the seams. This creates a rhythmic shadow pattern that adds depth, texture, and unmistakable architectural character. Originally used on historic barns and farmhouses, Board & Batten has become a signature look in luxury residential design, prized for its ability to feel both rustic and refined.

Metal siding delivers a sleek, contemporary exterior finish known for its exceptional durability, clean lines, and long term performance. Crafted from high grade steel or aluminum panels, it offers a crisp architectural look that resists the elements far better than traditional wood products. Metal siding is naturally impervious to rot, insects, and moisture, making it one of the most reliable exterior materials for both residential and specialty structures. With its bold vertical or horizontal profiles, metal siding brings a modern design language that pairs beautifully with minimalist, desert modern, and mid century architectural styles.

All options are durable, weather resistant, and visually aligned with modern home exteriors.

Roofing Built for Harsh Weather

Options include:

• 30 year Architectural shingles
• Metal roofing
• Color matched trim and fascia

This ensures the kennel blends seamlessly with your property.

Flooring That Outperforms Everything Else

The Executive Estate uses:

• Polyurea interior flooring (waterproof, antimicrobial, non slip)
• Composite decking on runs (no rot, no splinters, no maintenance)
  

This is a major upgrade over plywood or concrete.

Cost vs Value: Is the Executive Estate Worth It?

Long Term Value
