Our dogs are both Labs ,,when they were little we had them on our back porch and in a small area.. they chewed every thing up like your dog did ,,but after about 2,, I have them in a home made fenced in area approx. 25 feet wide and 60 feet long ,,they have all kinds of wood to chew plus toys and its in the trees ..I think if you give a dog lots to chew on it might be why they dont chew on the dog house .. dont know ,,but so far they have left the dog house alone..

thx for the compliment, I have been building things out of wood for over 50 years for more ,, want to see the swing I built ? it needs paint but it works.. LOL
