Maybe the cement is too rough. It could be they are not used to it. Could be something on the cement. I would wash the cement with something to kill anything on it. Make sure the dog has something softer to lay on like plywood or something.

Tractor supply sells rubber mats that work great in kennels. It will completely eliminate the sores.
