I crate my dog but never for more than 5 hours a day, personally I would not get a dog if it would be crated 10 hours. But as you already own the dog a pen would be better they are bigger, can you not get a neighbour or one of their children to take your dog out or look into doggy daycare centre. It sounds like your dog is already having some separtation anxiety.
