Pine shavings are fine, if you have to use them. Puppies eat them, though and
then get diarrhea. Also, once used, where will you put them? A pine shavings
pile? I don't think this would be good, if you intend to sell your house
UNLESS you have a lot of land and can spread them out, rake them, in different
areas--since they're wood, they WILL decompose, eventually. You constantly
have to relace and replenish shavings, so I don't think they're cost efficient
either.
You can disinfect the ground with Sweet PDZ--a horse product, which can be
bought at any Agway. PDZ is granules. I put it on the part of my enclosed
"dog yard" that is near the house--no odor whatsoever! Hope this helps!

PS: Just remembered! I have a triple Mason Kennel on 2ft by 2ft concrete
patio blocks. They are the next best thing to poured concrete, plus have the
added bonus of being movable. I bought them at a concrete place in Newburgh.
