Week 3 - Home Stretch

In this video, Kayla is working dogs in Week 3 of their training, where we begin transitioning skills into real-world environments. At this stage, the dogs already understand their commands. Now the focus shifts to: Training in new locations Practicing long line recall Building reliability around distractions Preparing for the off-leash transition Despite a foot of snow on the ground, these dogs are working at a local park, proving that solid training doesn’t depend on perfect conditions — it depends on clarity, consistency, and repetition. This phase of training is where structure starts to turn into freedom. The skills being practiced here are what allow dogs to safely enjoy off-leash time, public spaces, and real-life outings with their owners. If you want your dog to live this kind of lifestyle, these are the skills that make it possible.
