Yes I know benching is recommended by GDBA if they feel its needed, but never crating. II've seen those dog crates and know they are sometimes used by fussy pet owners. And I have heard of PW's using them but they never leave the puppies in for long, theymostly used them to put the puppy in to sleep so its safe while they get on with other things.

Re crating Melanie,
True pets are often crated here and guide dog hopeful puppies for
safety and toilet training but only to a certain age. I know a few
handlers who bench lead over night, their particular dogs are roamers
and eaters.
Luckily Q rarely touches something which is not his and will get into
bed when asked.
Have heard crating CAN give animal sense of security, from den in the wild etc.

Why do people put their dogs in crates at night? It seems a bit cruel or unnecessary to me. I don't think any guide dog owners ever do that here, although some puppy walkers may do if the dogs are not house trained yet or are still good house wreckers!!! I can understand that but not why anyone would choose to crate a guide dog every night?

I have him sleep out in my living room. I have a crate or he sleeps just on 
the floor.  I let him run loose since I had some break in my apartment.
Before that he was always in the crate at night, but now he has free run at 
night.  I do believe he would alert me if some one was trying to break in.
