Well, it's my understanding, that most good dogs, with a little patience and training, will soon learn some routine, including what a safe kennel/cage place is, similarly as learning that a mat/bed in a "favorite" spot is a limit to their wanderings.

I once had a golden retriever and black lab and would bring them inside when it got cold and/or on other occassions. They quickly learned their places and limits, when inside. I've seen this with other dogss, as well, so I would expect Kaci to become just as obedient.... after all, she's in good hands.

Speaking of building, but not a cage for indoors, I made this dog house for a friend's shelter dog, that also quickly learned her places and limits when inside:

There's been a little chewing on the posts, but I don't mind going visit and repair these.

I'll vote: Kaci and Dave got/will have the best of the adoption deal, all round!

That dog looks exactly like my dog.

And I agree, my dog has a few beds around the house. One in the shop
area, and one in my bedroom, and another in the family room. That's
where he goes when we are there or when he wants to rest.
