I went through this with my Aussie too; they’re smart but kinda stubborn! What helped me was making the dog house feel like a fun, safe space instead of something new and scary. I started by tossing treats just at the entrance, then slowly inside, letting her explore at her own pace. I also put one of her favorite toys and a blanket with our scent in there. Sometimes I’d even sit nearby and talk to her while she sniffed around. The key is patience and turning it into a positive experience, not a forced one. Once she realized it was her spot, she totally claimed it.
