My doghouse is held down by 5 screws . If you lift the edge of the carpet and feel along the edge of the doghouse you should find the screw heads. The carpet edge covers them up.
I have 2 screws against the firewall, along the top (one on either side), 2 screws on the side of the doghouse (one on either side) close to the room end of the doghouse and one on the end close to the middle. They are just 1 x #8 wood screws.
Take the screws out and it should lift off with no problem (?). Be prepared as you may have more than 5 screws, you just need to find them all.
Check your doghouse and to see what it is made from. Mine cracked and when I researched it, I was lead to believe they were all made from fibreglass. I was prepared to fibreglass repair it but, when I took it off, it is made from plastic which you can not use fibreglass on. So I came up with another solution to fix it.
