I disagree that your pup should be kept away from other dogs in the house. Why would you want to exclude him from the rest of the pack?
However, when someone is not there watching him, he should be crated so he doesn't destroy the house. Unless they want their house chewed apart...
As far as cruel and inhuman, my dog was crated during her puppyhood. Now she goes in and hangs out when ever someone's in the basement with her (crate was upstairs when she was using it) Now, she is only locked in if there's workmen in the house.
Ask Mom and Dad if this nearly 7 year old dog looks unhappy?
