Pygmy Weather

I have four pygmy goats 1 doe and 3 weathers all in the same pen with 3 dog houses that they sleep in but the big weather is alway popping the lids off and he seams to do it right before it starts to rain. me and my dad were talking about building a lean two type thing for them but i want to hear if any of you know of how to stop him.

If they are dog houses like mine, I drilled a hole through the lip where the top and bottom pieces meet, then wired them together.

We have houses for our goats, not the dog house type but anyways we also have the lean too type shelters your talking about I think. We built them to put the hay, mineral, etc. to keep it dry during rain, & shaded during hot weather. Some of our goats do lay down in there too.
