Dogs must sometimes be placed in cages and the best is when they have learned that the cage is their "den" from early in life. Dogs are denners and love the security of a familar den. To keep a dog in a den all the time for hours at work is wrong. But for a visit for a short time it is necessary. Just be sure you get up earlier and take the dog for a busy hike or play episode for an hour before you go to work and after you return. If the dog is not used to the cage I would look for a doggie day care so he/she can play while you are at work.
