Title: Chew proofing dog house’s Post by: Reuben on December 28, 2017, 07:14:33 pm Sometimes the dogs will chew up the dog houses to the point where they can’t be used but I have found that by trimming them out with metal the dogs will quit chewing on them...

Title: Re: Chew proofing dog house’s Post by: WayOutWest on December 28, 2017, 10:45:54 pm I have always used plywood houses and I had a few who would chew right through the side. I had a couple houses I lined with tin and had to frame the door with angle iron. I am dang happy to be out of that line of dogs cause they seemed to teach it to the others. That looks like a good solution Rueben.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Title: Re: Chew proofing dog house’s Post by: Reuben on December 30, 2017, 09:10:20 am Lacy man...the kennels are dry most of the time...but there are a few humid days here and there and they will stay wet...I do wash down every day and most days they dry off really quick and other days might take a little longer...the roofing needs to be setup in a way that all areas of the concrete will get sunlight sometime during the day...
On the real hot days if I am home I usually run out there and wet the dogs and concrete just to help cool them down... Title: Re: Chew proofing dog house’s Post by: Big Game Joe on December 30, 2017, 02:09:31 pm Great idea Reuben. I have used Tabasco Pepper juice with good results preventing chewing also. The tin is a nice permanent solution.
