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...     I also shield the vent on account they will chew this off as well...by covering it with metal it prevents rain from entering... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...

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.

Great idea Reuben. I’ve got some metal strap laying around too. Hopefully I won’t have a bunch of toothless dogs next week......

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...

Great idea Reuben. I have used Tabasco Pepper juice with good results preventing chewing also. The tin is a nice permanent solution.
