I used to get him in the laundry on cold nights but now he refuses to come inside whatsoever, despite the cold. His kennel is very close to us, but instead of sleeping in it, he sleeps far away on the other side of the house.. he's a Guard dog, so I guess he feels he can assess the area better on the other side.
We can't move the kennel, it's a brick built in one.
I've put his bed in the kennel, but he still doesnt use it. I'm going to get some crappy old pillows and chuck them in (after sleeping with them a few nights to get our smell) and I guess I will get a real tasty treat and put it right at the entrance..
I have little faith though, he's not easily bribed and very independant. If all fails, I guess I just hope he's smart enough to use the cosy kennel when ihe can't bear the cold?

Thanks so much for all your ideas, certainly once I've tried all this there's nothing left but for him to decide,
