No, dogs should never be 'kept' in cages. They should be able to walk freely.

That should not be confused with a dog 'crate', which is in the form of a cage, but not for the same function as a rodent cage for example where the animal lives inside it. A dog crate replicates a dog's 'den' and gives it a secure, familiar place to go inside if needed. There are ways of training the dog using the crate, and it can be used to transport the dog on a short trip. However the dog is not 'kept' in the crate, long term.
