A dog is a den animal. It finds comfort in small enclosed spaces. I agree, as a puppy, it needs out every 3-4 hours, but as an adult, a dog in a den for 7-8 hours is not bad at all. My dog is in her den about 8 hours a day while i'm at work, later in the evening, after our walk, she likes to go lay down in her den. To say a den is unfair for a dog is dependant on how you view your dog. I certainly don't think a dog den is bad, in fact, it's the reason my dog is as well behaved as she is.
