First airport dry run

Regional airport only. Hazel spooked at the PA once but we reset and tried again. Progress not perfection.

Weirdly specific but, the mat work payoff is real — library story hour is chaos in a very specific way.

Security was nicer once they saw us reset instead of rush. people underestimate how much prep goes into boring errands. Nice reset energy.

Any gear change that helped — harness vs cape? If Byte could read they would nod aggressively.

Bear and I are working on the same skill right now. Also wind on boardwalks ends outings for us too.

Ear protection helped our team in the jet bridge chaos. We figured it out over the summer.

Genuine question We only did two gates on the first try. Still counts. Did you film it for your trainer or just wing it? (since switching vests for us).
