I have 2 dogs of my own that are well-taken care of. We go on daily walks and they get lots of attention from not only me, but my 20-year-old daughter and my husband as well. They are on a daily routine and they have never been caged. I believe dogs should have freedom. Even though they have freedom, they are very well trained. I also work from home so the dogs are never alone for a long period of time. We have no young children and the house is very peaceful throughout the day and night. I am an animal lover and believe dogs are a part of the family. The way I treat my dogs is the way yours will be treated as well.
