I work 8-4, my dogs stay in crates while I'm gone. Does this make me an unsuitable dog owner?They go right in and lay down, are sleeping when I come home, they seem like happy, well loved dogs to me...
Actually when I have a day off they often want to go in their crates and sleep too, but I usually don't let them so they find a place in the yard or house to sleep. I take them to work with me at least once a week, and they hang out in crates there too with no problem. They sleep the entire time. Even if I let them out they end up going back in the crates or a corner to sleep (well, except when Shilo is there too, then its husky playtime outside the crate...she and Keva sleep when they are in the crate together).
If it were my own house I'd try leaving them (at least Nebo) loose in the house, but its my parents house and that's their rules.
