Worked with Cosmo on the following suggestion from Jessi: keep J loop below my knees, sit Cosmo before doing stand position, practiced exercise finish, keep right hand at my side and DO NOT hold the leash in my left hand. Enough practice and it will be muscle memory (I pray).

PM Monroe Lions Park met Jessi and she helped me with my foot work and assisted me with having Cosmo Standing for 1 minute. Cool down and home for quiet time.

Saturday June 22
AM went across the street to the Ward on 4th west. They have a large out door covered area that is shaded and we practiced our turns, heel, sits, sit/stay 6' and stand. Cool down around the sidewalk in the shade of the trees. Quite time at home.
Friday June 21st
AM went to CV Park and worked the longe line with Cosmo. Exciting time with the distractions and all the other dogs.
Afternoon went to tractor supply and practiced the turns and heel/sit and stand. I like Home Depot better there is more room and it is larger. Cool down and quiet time on the front porch of my home, traffic going by, people and dog walking by, Cosmo still reacts to other dogs but we will continue to work on this.
PM Asked Mary to come over and video week 3 exam 2 we did the video in my back yard since it was so hot and the cement and asphalts would have been too hot to do it at the tennis courts. We did two different videos, Mary used her phone and texted them to me. They are taking a longggggg time to down load, I will post them as soon as they are completed downloading. THANKS Mary you are always so willing to help out.
Thursday Afternoon
Drove to Home Depot, medium distractions, walked/heeled Stink up and down the aisles, left turns, right turn, lots of sit/stays, exercise finishes for about 40 minutes. The new environment was good especially with all the turns, Stink never knew which way I was going to go so he really had to pay attention. While Stink was sitting a Home Depot an employee walked by and asked if I went to Roxanne's training classes, I asked "how could you tell" we both laughed. I really enjoyed going to a store to practice. Tomorrow I think I will try Tractor Supply.
Thursday PM practiced all week #3 exam #2, I will video tape it tomorrow after some more practice just to verify I am doing all the correct exam requirements. I think that will help me not to get so stressed out. Also I am really excited (I get really excited a lot can you tell) about go to CV Park in the am with all the other dogs.
