Recall practice in distractions

Worked recalls with mild distractions today. Not perfect but improving.

Quick thought, the mat work payoff is real — regional airport dry runs saved us before a real trip.

First time trying that location or a repeat? My Prime would have lost it at the first distraction.

This is the kind of update I needed today Squirrel reps at a distance before close distractions. Did you film it for your trainer or just wing it? (since we started logging reps for us).

Celebrate the look-back — that is the win. We figured it out during holiday crowds.

Reset breathe treat still works on skateboards here. the mat work payoff is real. Rooting for you and the team.

Blitz and I are working on the same skill right now. Also campus tours have too many unpredictable turns.
