remy 700 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Yes , stick with it , imo this is a good way to house my working dogs they build a great outdoor coat and weather proofing helps with stamina etc but I have working sheep dogs so do not know much about gun dogs , come bye n all that , cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arwen3513 Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 yes, probably much the same as he would if in the house and left for any period or at night. so long as he has his comforts, he will soon learn this is his safe place, and your routine and quiet times. remember to work on bonding with him, so he doesn't become an independant little tyke maybe get him a kong to keep him occupied filled with wetted and frozen biscuit or similar. jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actionpigeons Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 I know its not cold now but I always put a heat lamp on over pups at night, it really helps them settle and feel more secure. all my dogs live outdoors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
