I can't get my dog to stop eating the dog house. What should I do?

Full Question:
Hi:

My Griffon does well outside in the 10x10 kennel. I have kept her in the house during single digits but she would rather be outside. I felt guilty during the cold weather so I purchased a insulated dog palace, Kind of spendy but did not have time to make a wood house. She has eaten the door off and consumed the Styrofoam beads. I have sprayed hot sauce on the house. Not sure if the Stop Chew liquid used for horses would work. It did not work for the horses.

Unless you can block her from physically chewing on the house, I am not sure what will work to deter her. Typically this is a frustration or boredom behavior and the bad tasting stuff doesn’t always work. All you can do is try and see if it helps.
