dog training housebreaking

What do you think about “crate training” a dog?
I really have been wanting a dog lately. one of the dogs I found on spca said it was housebroken. Then a little further down the description it said it was crate trained. So she doesn’t pee in the house since she is locked up all day? I think its mean to lock a puppy up all day. What do y’all think.
Crate training is absolutely the biggest favor you will ever do for your dog.
Here is a WHY as well as HOW article about crate training.
