Q. What can I put down in my dog's kennel?I have tried hay and gravel both did not do.I need a bedding that will keep them warm if they lay on it cause it is winter(they have dog houses but prefer to lay on the ground),something that can make it easier for me to clean their "messes",and something that is safe for dogs.My dogs are 70-90lbs. so with them play fighting all the time they have wore down the grass and everytime it rains the grass gets wet so it turns to mud so then they get dirty in return.
Answer
My Labs use an Igloo dog house and Stall Bedding.
It's easy at clean up, it's for horses to bed in, just big dogs. Smells fresh, brushes off at cleaning.
Best thing I find, it turns to dirt...poo plus wood = dirt. Well, and with weather, rain, sun and furious '...play fighting..' mixing.
Lay the bedding under their house 4"-6" deep, as well as inside for warmth. It's great, real cozy.
Right now it's much cheaper than straw, 1 yard of bedding is only $6 to 7.50 (here).
It's available at Petsmart, (but shop around $) comes in plastic...vacuumed packed, throw a few more bags in the trunk and, and add more all through the yucky season. Then in the next year or two... till it under, plant corn.
Green renewed soil.

Kennel or bed??
me an i
When i first got my puppy (last week) i felt so bad too put him in his kennel to sleep so i put him to sleep with me and he is so good about it. He doesnt cry or nothing. He doesnt even go potty. I dont want him to get used to it so i started to put him in his kennel and he wakes up at least 2 times to go restroom and to play and when he gets tires he doesnt mind going back into the kennel, but when he slept with me he slept the whole night through. Sometimes when he crys in the middle of the night i dont want to let him out because i dont want him to think that eveytime he cries it means ill let him out but then i feel bad and i take him out. What can i do to make him sleep the whole night like before? Is it ok if i just let him cry until he goes back to sleep since in know he just wants to play or sleep with me?
I have thought about leaving the kennel open but i cant because he is not fully potty trained. He doesnt potty inside the kennel or in my bed.
My problem is that when he sleps with me he sleeps the whole night but when he sleeps in the kennel he wakes up like 2-3 times a night, but he doesnt really mind being in there.
Answer
When I got my dog, she slept on the couch with me for two weeks. Until I knew that she was fully potty trained. I never made her sleep in the kennel because I figured that she spent enough time in there when I was gone at work. So it was, we slept on the couch together for a couple weeks. There's more to it than that, I was on night shift and had a cold when I first got her. But she had no problem with going right to sleep and when she had to go out to potty, I knew when she was awake. After a couple weeks when I was back on dayshift and tired of sleeping on the couch, she started sleeping on her bed, right next to my bed. She did wake up a couple times to go out each night. Keep in mind that their bladders are tiny and they are only doing what you trained them to do, letting you know that they have to go. So let her out and make sure she goes and then go right back to sleep. Make sure that there are no toys in your room so that she doesn't think that it's play time. This has worked well for my dog. It took about 4 months or so I think before she was able to start sleeping the whole night through. Just remember that he's a puppy and this is a puppy thing. It will pass and things will get better, I promise!
