My dog stays outside in a normal dog box from tractor supple and I've been noticing the past week she don't go in it at all. No matter what the weather is she will sleep outside. It was poring down rain earlier and she curled up into a ball against the garage and stayed there even tho it was raining. She's never done this before and I don't know why I never beated her or anything. So does anyone know how to break her from this or why she is doing it? Need help fast!!

But it makes no sense because she will lay out in the rain and not even bother to go in her box even when it's cold out

Probably had bees going in it and got stung. I food place her food bowl in there and Mix some goodies in with it and see if that gets her in there.

Whatever happened she had a bad experience in there . If you got more than one dog just switch them around after you're sure the box is ok . No bee nests in the top etc...

I had a pup named Rosie that got stung by jackets. Almost killed her. Even tho she was little she never would go back in that kennel. If she even heard one near her she would run.

difference does it make where she sleeps? I've had dogs that never went in a house their whole life.
