Using the kennel doors open to transition to duration on place command

Dogs transitioning to open door kennels...
This is one progression I use to help them understand "duration" work, meaning continuing to do what you have been asked to do (in heel, on place, etc.) These dogs have been in these kennels for almost a week now with the doors closed. So they are physically used to being in this spot. But now the doors are open and they're not allowed to go anywhere so it ups the distraction level for them. This helps solidify that the expectation is to just chill out in their kennels, even when the door is open until I give you another command or a release word.
I find this progression beneficial in getting them to understand duration on Place command when things are going on elsewhere, like people eating dinner, the door bell, etc.
