Does anyone have any ideas of how I can get my boys used to going in their kennel?  Its a decent size kennel (bigger than the cage in which they both go into happily) and is situated under a nice big tree in the garden so is well sheltered.  Now I am single again I was hoping to leave the boys outside during the day (either morning/afternoon or both) whilst im at work (my OH used to work from home) they love the garden and when im at home spend all their time out there playing with their toys and lounging in the sun they only come in when it rains.  I left them outside the other afternoon and when I got home it was raining and instead of going in their kennel the daft mutts were sat outside on the lawn :( 

Half of my garden is lawn and half is jungle so they have plenty of shelter from the elements im just gutted they wont use their lovely kennel, I feel so guilty :(  They go in it if I put them in it but just come straight back out again, they have some nice carpet and vetbed in there, ive tried putting food in there but they dont care.

Any suggestions ?
