Kennels where dogs are kept should be installed in the north side of the house. However, it should neither be right in front of the entrance of the house nor in the corners. It could be on the sides, preferably in the north side.

It seems that a dog's heightened sense of smell is not keen on acidic smells, vinegar being another very acidic substance. It is worth noting that dogs are more repelled by the smell of vinegar than they are by lemons and oranges. It is no wonder that vinegar is a key ingredient in every dog repellent.
Scent Marking and Territory
Dogs have scent glands in various parts of their bodies, including their cheeks and the corners of their mouths. By rubbing their face on their owners, they transfer this scent onto you. And this is a way of marking you as their own territory or pack.
Wherever possible, try to position kennels so that the runs are south-facing and the sleeping quarters north-facing. This way, dogs can enjoy the sun in their run if they wish, but the sleeping quarters will remain cool.
Tip: The color of your doghouse can have an effect on your dog's comfort. White and other light colors keep your dog cool by reflecting the sun. Black and other dark colors will attract and absorb heat from the sun and keep your dog warm.
Place your dog's indoor spot in a low-traffic area of the house for your convenience, as well as for your dog's privacy. Most dogs prefer some peace and quiet when it comes to doing their business.
If you are considering where to put a dog house, consider this: The dog's house should be in a shaded area and out of the direct sun. It should have the opening facing a direction where you get the least amount of storms.

You might believe your dog adores your hugs. After all, you do it all the time and your dog doesn't complain. But it's far more likely your dog is simply tolerating your behavior. Although the odd dog doesn't seem to mind, most dogs display stress signals when hugged, and their owners are oblivious.
Vinegar has a strong, pungent smell that most dogs dislike. This makes it a great way to deter them from peeing indoors. To make a simple deterrent, mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Then apply it to carpets, floors, furniture, or spots where accidents have occurred.
Coffee grounds scattered throughout the garden will have a similar effect. Spicy substances work to keep dogs at bay. Spread a mixture of spicy mustard and red pepper flakes around plants for protection. Dogs have a similar distaste for coffee grounds and bitter orange.
Using an enzymatic cleaner will help break down the smell in pee that makes dogs want to pee in that same spot. Nature's Miracle is the brand that I use and it helps stop most peeing.
If you're raising a smaller species in an apartment set-up, keep your dog's bed in the east, north, east-of-north-east (ENE), or north west direction to keep them remain happy, healthy and well-behaved.
