Not a cage, it's a den. Do canines such as wolves occupy dens in the wild?

"Intellectually dishonest" has been getting thrown around a ton in the last few weeks, but this is pretty much textbook, right?

No, why would you think that? I read some posts here about covering the crate, making it dark, etc. Sounds like making it like a den to me. There's a variety of different types of crates too as there are some that are basically closed on three sides. One of my dogs actually puts himself in his crate at night when he's tired and wants to go to sleep. Spending time in dens is a natural part of canine behavior. And no I don't keep them in the crates all day either.
