I don’t know how many dogs you have, nor their sizes, but there are wire and soft sided crates which can be folded flat and stored under a sofa or bed. Just a thought...
Four, ranging in size from 18”/25 lbs to 30”/100 pounds.
Two of the dogs could use folding crates but I’m not sure they make them big enough for the Dobermanns.
Or even if I’d have time to ‘stow them away’ during a sudden search.
People shouldn’t even have to worry about stuff like this.
