My dog would not sleep in her whelper.
Although when she went into labour I put her in it and since the pups have been born she has not left there.

Some dogs won't like the confined space of a whelping box.  Following the guidance of CCI, I would recommend whelping the puppies in a large plastic kiddie pool.  Put down old blankets on the bottom and lightly shredded newspaper on top.
