There is a distinct lack of info to be able to answer that question. What are you using the dog for? What is the dog's temperment and have there been any aggression issues? Are you talking about kenneling outside or crate training? A little more info and you will be able to get an informative response.
its not a bad idea to introduce them to the kennel but its proven that the bond between you and the dog is strengthened by having the dog live inside with you.
i plan on building a kennel for mine in the back yard so she does not destroy my yard when we let her out. but is a good idea to have him live in the house with you.
I guess the answer to you question is that all dogs should be kept under control. For an unsupervised outdoor dog, that means a kennel, an invisible fence, or a regular fence. Which one you choose depends on your dog/dogs.
For example, a low drive, soft dog might do fine with an invisible fence. My high drive, hard dog, on the other hand, litterally chewed through his kennel's chain link fencing when he was only 6 months old (good teeth). If you have more than one dog, separate kennels might be necessary to keep them apart. Also if you're worried about other dogs getting in your yard, or kids getting near your dog, a kennel would be necessary.
Two terriers inside. One retired, one getting close to retirement from earthwork. Only left outside after a skunking . One SAR GSD in a kennel outside. He's outside mainly because of a small house but I like the way he get's pumped up when I take him out of the kennel. That always means playtime (training). Inside or outside, to me, isn't as important as how good their training is.
Thanks for the replys!!! Chewing through chain link? Wow, I disagree with the underground fence. I have never seen any good come out of it, I dont want to sound soft but I have only seen dogs sort of fry their brains on the fence it seems.

Does your high drive super hard dog respond to an E collar? E-fence is the same thing once trained on it. A perfectly timed correction. If they are frying their brains out it`s because a no brains trainer did the fence training.
The only thing needed for evil to exist is for good men to stand by and do nothing!!!
