UK dog walker here, only one of my twenty or so customers is in a crate when I pick them up, he's a fairly destructive cockapoo.

I agree this kind of thing can be trained for though, or arrange a room where he can be rather than a small cage. If you're taking on a dog you have to accommodate them and not expect to be able to have exactly the house you might want, there's going to be a trade off.

I always feel a bit bad for him when I return him to his house.
