My dogs' crates all stay up for the duration of their life. They like them an choose to nap in them often. It's a safe place where they can go and not be bothered. It's somewhere I can send them if they're being a bit too "helpful" and I need a minute or two. I particularly like them when we have people over that may not deal with dogs in a way that I like. If there's no interaction, they don't have a chance to do something to my dogs that will piss me off and make me ask them to leave. Win-win.
