Recall training can support safety, but it is not a substitute for identification. Build skills gradually and keep a recovery plan in place.

Build a clear recall cue

  • Use consistent, reward-based practice in controlled settings; detailed training claims need qualified review.

Increase difficulty gradually

  • Change distance and distractions only when the current setup is reliable and safe.

Plan for emergencies

  • Identification remains important because training cannot guarantee a response in every situation.
