It's summer here at my place and sometimes my dog wants to sleep outside, stay outside for a couple of days, I have a weather proof dog house for him and he is fully weather protected but what else can I do for him, any advice would be highly appreciated

I'm 100% for leaving the dog outside during the day when you're home if the dog wants to be out, but not when you're sleeping. There is just way too much that could happen between predators that he'd be interested in and animals that might be interested in him. Coons are also very dangerous and often attracted to dog food/treats and water and mostly come out at night, and the risk of an encounter with them alone is enough for me to never let my dog sleep outside at night.
