To Cage or not to Cage?

"A dog who lives in a cage or with a leash grow up more hyper and aggressive" 

Train your pet, so, they can live without a cage or a leash. Cage/leash only when outdoor walking/exercise or when traveling. You could also cage/leash them if you’ll leave them alone in the house, until, they can be trusted on their own. 

Dogs are smart, it would be a shame to make them live on a cage. But, don't let them roam on their own outside your house compound either.

If you have to cage/leash your dog, make sure to get them out for a time period during the day – for walk, exercise, and play. Regularly doing this could help lessen aggressiveness and hyperactivity every time your dog gets a taste of freedom.

The cage should allow your dog as much space to move around as possible.
