best outdoor dog kennel flooring image
rcullen198
We recently got our 9 year old boxer mix back after being overseas a few years. She stayed with family but was mainly an outdoor dog. Before that she had her own couch when it was just her and my husband. Now that we are back and have brand new furniture I do not want either of our dogs on it. The younger one I trained not to get on so he's pretty good but the older dog is smart enough to only get on when we are not home or at night when we are asleep. We catch her on the love seat in the mornings.
What is the best way for me to train her to stay off since she doesn't get up when we are around. My husband thinks that if I let her on it to teach her to stay off it will confuse her.
I won't kennel her at night but I don't really want to put things on the couches every night to keep her off either. Do the sprays really work?
Any suggestions?
Answer
There are a few options to address this.
- Purchase a second hand dog couch which is relatively cheap for the dogâs use and teach it off, using drag lead if the dog jumps on to enforce the command until it learns all other furniture is out of bounds.
- Teach the dog off and be absolutely consistent that the dogâs place is on a dog bed or floor.
- When you are not in the room to supervise the dog, lock it out â some dogs can work a lever arch handle!

What is the best material for a dog kennel/run floor?
Woody
6' by 6' Fencing will be attached to a shed so the dog can go in and out. What is ideal material for the "floor" of the outdoor run? Concrete? Grass? Mulch? Rubber? Why?
Other ideas?
This kennel is for very intermittent use, as ours is a house dog.
Answer
Dogs should NOT be kept on concrete - bad for joints, feet, etc. Grass would be turned to mud in no time by a bored dog confined in a small run. A good option would be pea gravel - not bad for the dog's feet and easy to hose down to clean it.
