    She's a 7 month old lab. Had a nice waterproof bed in her kennel which she kept taking out and eventually ripped it. Gave her a few more temporary things to sleep on while that dries out, but she keeps taking them out during the day (guessing she gets bored when nobody is home) but then she cries when she has no bed to sleep on because they get wet.

    Will I just leave her be, let her suit herself? I see her now she's sleeping outside on a concrete slab now. She could go into her bed-less kennel though.

    Hi. Poor pup
    Try bedding her on straw.
    It's cheap, clean and lovely n cosy :)
    Dogs love it in my experience!

    Try removing them during the day and giving her toys to play with if she's bored. Either that or let her sleep indoors. It's getting pretty cold for a puppy to be sleeping outdoors.

    My old guy used to pull any loose bedding out of his kennel too. The solution was to buy the biggest plastic round bed that would fit the kennel, put blankets in it and put the whole thing into a pillow case. He wasn't able to pull the plastic bed out the door or able to get into the pillow case to pull the blanket out. He was small though so curled up nicely in this size set up, a lab puppy isn't going to fit into a pillow case sized bed but you might work out something similar.
