Dogs are freezing outside any suggestions?!

I have a 2 year old labrador and a 1 year old Beagle. Both outside as they're both quite large. Only problem is I worry they get cold. We've tried kennels with mats etc. and jackets but they just tear it up and think its a game! Any suggestions! I'm really desperate I feel so sorry for my babies! HELP!!

Answer: My dogs are freezing outside any suggestions?!
To be brutally honest, they will destroy anything you give them out of frustration to not being part of you 'pack' due to being outside. There is a way to have your dogs sleep inside in a controlled manner and it is called crate training! I really do think you would be all much happier with the dogs sleeping inside in their own crate. Can you consider this?? There is a link to a good crate training article (PDF link) on the Ozdoggy main Advice page.
