I'm normally pretty knowledgeable about building and construction even though I'm not in the trades or make a living off it. Do have a question for yall. We have a 12x16 insulated wood shed with power to it. Currently the interior has fiberglass batts but has no interior sheathing installed. Last year we put a dog door in the rear wall and on the backside of the shed we put in a 16x20 chain link dog run. Use this setup for our dogs when we have to be gone more than a couple hours. Now that we have the one 3.5 year old Boxer and now a 4 month old GSD puppy I need to upgrade/finish it out a bit. Don't want the puppy eating and getting into the insulation or chewing the wires in the wall. Plan is the sheet the interior of the shed.

Do I need to use visqueen or a moisture barrier between the insulation/studs and the interior sheathing? I have the space with a big AC unit to keep cool in the summer and a heater for cold weather. What would you do in this situation regarding the moisute barrier need? Thanks for the help.
