My dog had no break and now he isn't shut in he still doesn't have a break, he doesn't get up he won't go out, he lies abd he sleeps, what is the difference between a dog sleeping In a crate during the day and a dog sleeping in one all night ?

But you openly said it's no life for ANY dog,
And your all writing the OP of, there is no reason why this dog won't settle fine as long as it's exercised,

Any suggestions / opinions / advice will be greatly appreciated.

My post seems to have disappeared, perhaps while the thread was being moved. I said I found it surprising the shelter were releasing the dog after only having it a few days and knowing little about it's temperament. Also the new owner needs to spend more time getting to know the dog so to ascertain it's needs.

Isn't everybody up late tonight lol. And guess what, my dog is fast asleep on my bed.

He has never shown any sign of seperation problems,
And if he diddnt live with me he would be put to sleep as he would be classed as dangerous,
I used a web cam left on and he led and he slept now the cage is open he lies and he sleeps,
Look at any working dog either kennelled or tethered, when not working they lie down and wait dogs don't tend to spend hours everyday walking round aimlessly they rest

Yes but you can't write it off as no way for any dog to live

Separation related behaviours

Separation related behaviours (SRBs) are behaviours shown by dogs when they are left at home by their owners. The most commonly reported SRBs are destruction, toileting, barking or howling. These are behaviours that owners may be aware of because they either see the evidence when they get home, or neighbours tell them if their dog has been making a noise. However, research suggests that many other dogs may be worried about being home alone – but they are a hidden welfare issue because their owners have no idea of the problem. This may be because there are no close neighbours to hear any barking or howling. More often, it is because they show more subtle signs of anxiety which, by the nature of the problem, owners are not there to see.
