Dogs are socially-dependent. That means their brains are hardwired to need social interaction. It makes them feel safe and secure to have physical contact with their pack members.

Isolating a dog is not really different than trying to keep a pet fish out of water. Even if you could devise a way to do it, it’s unnatural, and probably harming the creature.

If psychologically harming a dog isn’t bad enough, isolation often leads to many undesirable behaviors, not the least of which is aggression. Just as a child kept isolated from other people will not develop proper social skills (and may even grow to view others as some kind of threat), the same goes for dogs. Socialization teaches them that their world is safe, and that most other people and animals are not a danger to them in any way. In fact, most people and other dogs are potential playmates. Socialization allows dogs to learn which behaviors are acceptable, and which aren’t.

Keeping dogs isolated and away from physical contact with their pack members is wrong. It’s unnatural. It’s needlessly cruel.

Sure, temporarily housing dogs in separate cages so they don’t harm other dogs or spread disease, is one thing. The emphasis is on the word “temporary.” Forcing a dog to live isolated most or all the time is sick. It’s no way for such a socially-dependent creature to live.

They’d rather keep an animal until it dies than place it in a less-than-perfect home.
Would rather kill it than let it go to a (CORRECT & KNOWLEDGABLE)hunting home,for instance.
