My standard poodle loves to stay in her outdoor run regardless of the weather.
We thought we were doing her a favor and bought her a doghouse. She is
afraid of it. She will go in part-way to get a treat but she refuses to go
in all the way. I think the doghouse is more than big enough. Can anyone come up
with some ideas to get her to use it? We have had it about 3 weeks and
no change so far. I am having a puppy visit next week and I am sure the
puppy will use it and I hope she might then try it too. Meanwhile, I am putting
treats in there further and further back. She will take the treat but immediately
back out.

She is a 50 lb dog and the doghouse measures 25" x 36"L x 30" H.
