I got a wooden house for the dog, i will put warm blankets on the inside, and her pillow/bed on the inside. The door is plastic three stripes. Can I leave her to sleep and stay at the balcony at night or during the day ? temperature goes down to -5 c
If the wooden dog house is insulated, and there is a lot of padding inside and the door is covered, that would be ok during the day but I would avoid it at night. Make sure that the balcony has a secure border so that she cannot get through the barrier /slip through or under the bars and fall or escape. I would also not recommend it if you're on a lower floor where someone could potentially try to snag her. Thanks for asking Boop by Petco!

Is a igloo dog house warmer than a wooden one?? For winter
That depends. A wooden dog house with insulation in the sides would be warmer than an igloo dog house. However it is generally accepted that the igloo house is considered warmer than a regular wooden house. You do need the appropriate size and you will want some sort of warm bedding. If you can create a door or flap for it, that will help as well. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.

I have a 6 months old german shepherd puppy. Weather here at night goes down to 6 degrees Celsius... She sleeps outdoors in her spacious and thick wooden house with a blanket inside.. The house has one small window.. We keep the door semi open at nig
As long as the doghouse is heavily insulated and she has thick bedding inside, and the door isn't open to where the wind blows in, it should be fine. A good option may be to drape a heavy blanket over the door at night to stop any drafts and improve the insulation. Thanks for asking Boop by Petco!

This can take some time and patience - he would much rahter be playing with you then spending time on his own! With some gentle encouragement however, including chew/food toys which keep him busy (there are many puzzle feeders you can buy or DIY models such as plastic bottles with small holes for the food to come out) and a regular routine he will learn. A certified dog trainer can be very helpful also if he is very stubborn! See the attached link for some hints and tips https://www.dogstrust.ie/help-advice/factsheets-downloads/indoorkennel.pdf
