How can I get a previously abused dog inside the house?

Home More advice Pets & Animals

A few weeks ago we got a dog from wetnose (Alsation labrador mix) and she absolutely refuses to come into the house. It is even impossible to lure her in with food and calling her nicely doesn't work either. Apparently she was physically hurt by her previous owner when she tried to go inside. She was also abandoned with her puppies.

Now this isn't a huge problem because our dogs do sleep outside in their kennels, however it is nice for them to roam around the house in the day and to keep us company.

Does anyone have any advice?
