you can draw your own opinion on kennels, but my 60lb german shepherd/husky loved her kennel. I run the hell out of her in the dog park, she's well exercised, still loves that kennel. I have been breaking her of it for a while when she's home alone, and usually doesn't fuck anything up.
kennel training does do wonders. it's like a den, they feel safe inside of one
