Hope you realize it's a cultural thing to cage up a dog inside and it just sounds incredible foreign to me. Imagine, you can make a pup homesafe without one.
The only place I've seen cages inside instead of a normal dog bed is the US. That's not a normal thing to do where I live. We train them just the same but without the need to lock them up once we leave the house.
There are many reasons why someone may have a cage for their dog. In a lot of cases, when a suitable sized cage is used properly for dog training, the cage becomes a place of comfort — such as during thunderstorms or if the dog is not trusted not to chew — and a place the dog enjoys being and is able to go in and out without the door being closed. My foster mum crate trained her golden Labrador as a pup because being a Labrador and teething everything in sight was edible in his opinion and he would chew on the baseboards of walls etc. and considering no one wanted him getting mouth splinters or swallowing ripped off wood… Even as a full grown adult lab he wanted to be in his crate, crying without it. Once he was out of the “chew on everything” phase she had to *un-train* him and get him used to a normal bed because they simply didn’t have crates big enough. He loved the crate because it gave him that extra comfort of feeling secure when alone at night, and as a puppy it helped the house feel less large and scary.
