House Living with Dogs

Homes living with dogs achieve a balance between an environment where dogs, as family members, can spend time freely, and a comfortable living space for humans. Creating a flow connected to an entrance dirt floor or garden ensures smooth foot-washing and luggage cleanup after returning from walks. Selecting slip-resistant, easy-to-clean flooring, and arranging dedicated resting spots and storage for dogs are thoughtful touches for daily life. Allowing free access between the garden or terrace lets you spend time together both indoors and outdoors. Here, we introduce homes living with dogs that carefully consider canine habits and family lifestyle for comfortable daily living.
