Our neighbor dog KYLO is helping us out again with this video on how to work with a dog who is reluctant to go inside their new house.
Many dogs we send houses to have been sleeping out in the cold, with no shelter so they are not always comfortable going inside a house. KYLO is an inside dog, he has never had a dog house so he is a good doggy to try this on. He did a great job!
KYLO loves food so he was pretty easy to coax into the house, some dogs take longer but this gives you an idea of the things you can try. Eventually they WILL go inside.
Thank you Angie and Gabby for the video! 🥰

Attention ALLAKAKET and HUSLIA!
Straw For Dogs will be shipping insulated dog houses and straw on Ruby Marine again this summer for our RIVER PROJECT 2025!
We learned last year that ALLAKAKET only gets ONE delivery IN EARLY JUNE and HUSLIA only gets TWO....1 IN EARLY JUNE AND NOT AGAIN UNTIL SEPTEMBER.
So not a lot of chances for us to get these resources sent out.
NOW is the time to get your requests submitted. Please go to www.strawfordogs.org and fill out an application if you have a dog living outside who needs an insulated dog house and straw.
Thank you to Lotto Alaska, David Lambert, and Ruby Marine for making our River Project 2025 happen!

This is a quick tutorial on how to put our houses together once you receive them. Most people do pretty well but some still have trouble.
We will pin this to our page for recipients to use as a guide.
Most common mistake....ROOF NOT ON PROPERLY.
Other mistakes…..gaps in the corners/ walls not tight together, and Back wall upside down.
There should be no gaps or spaces anywhere. The only opening is the doggy door!
Thank you to our wonderful videographers Gabrielle Jeffords and Angela Diaz Newman Noble who froze outside with us while making this video.
