It strikes me as bizarre and cruel, it's a cultural thing, the people I know with dogs they seem to be OK.

Dogs don't miind crating. They like to have a place of their own; if it's enclosed like a cave, they like it better.
Funny story and too-much-information time. I crate-trained Pearl, and she still has her crate but the only time it's useful is when J and I are, you know, doin' it
You don't want your dog interrupting

Yeah. You don't want your dog interrupting.
So I crate Pearl before. She knows the word "crate" so it's easy.
Now the funny bit. J and I are getting romantic on a whim while downstairs on the couch. And so we head upstairs. I wonder where Pearl is, so she can be crated. I call her. No answer. I start downstairs but I realize...
Pearl is in her crate. She has sensed what is going on and has crated herself.
Good dog!!!
Pearl has never been the most intelligent dog, but she is always sensitive to the needs of the pack, a kind of intelligence that we don't measure.
