Check out Annette Faulks who stars in Trinny & Susannah Meet Their Match (8.00pm ITV this evening).
Annette is a good friend of mine and I had to embarrass her (also see agility net forum!).

No show this weekend!
No show results this week I’m afraid..
I was really disappointed not to be able to go to Ribble show on Sunday, we got up at 4.30am to find it snowing hard and a fair bit of snow on the ground.
We walked to the road and it was in a bad condition. For anyone that knows where we live and know the roads around us will know why I decided not to risk driving out in the van. It was really bad and I doubt we would have infact made it to Shrewsbury had we set out anyway!
It has been a nice day and we walked the dogs several times, and messed about in the snow. I really hate missing shows and had been doing a fair bit of training this week ready for Sunday, but it wasn’t to be.
Next show is Mid February and then end of March... so it is now a long couple of months but never mind, there’s still plenty to look forward too!!
Best wishes – Lee

Scotts Jumping Win
I am really buzzing at the moment!
I was competing at Wilmslow Saturday, and had a fantastic days agility. I was joking on the way to the show that we should all start as we mean to go on, but I am now really hoping that is going to be the case.
Firstly, Jack fresh from a decent rest gave a belting run in the grade 7 jumping class, and beating some quality dogs finished 2nd. He also had a 7th in the agility. I felt he was jumping with much more freedom and I hope that style will keep. Jack will be entering all the championship classes (well when I’m in the UK!) that he can this year.
Secondly, Che had 3 nice runs and managed a 9th in the grade 7 agility class. He always has fun and I know what I can realistically expect from him this season.
Thirdly, Scott. To be fair we probably have used up the allocated Clears for January but Saturday Scott was great. I felt he was using his body more on the 2nd phase of the turns (as a result of the new exercise iv e been doing – although he still has work to do!!) and I did some front pick-ups and although we rattled a couple of poles, we only knocked one down all day.
In the 3-5 combined agility Scott came 5th, 1.4 behind the winner. He was controlled on the contacts but worked the course lovely.
In the 4-5 jumping, Scott had a belting run and won by 0.2. I was really pleased as the course had a lot of 180degree turns in it, and I was pretty sure we would knock at least one pole, but he didn’t. It was fantastic starting to see what he can really do.
I have a video of Scotts win, and I’m working on getting it up here as soon as I can. It will be here this week!
Had two lessons today in quite literally gale force winds, it was nice to see the temperature at + rather than 0 or -8 as it was at one point last week!

Enough said really...
Especially after I fell over several times!! Scott was fine. He in fact made friends with some dog walkers in the town we walked too.

One heck of a cold snap!
This week seems to be one of the most annoying weeks in recent times!!
It has been about -5 all week (was -8.6 earlier) and I can’t get in or out of the house, the roads are really bad, and it shows no sign of warming up!!
I can’t train the dogs; I’ve redone the www.leegibsontraining,com home page, and tomorrow I have got to walk over the hill (about 4 miles) to post 3 DVD’s that have been on order!
I’ve been asked to do a Interview for a Finnish Magazine though, so that will keep me busy for a while!
Best wishes all – stay safe in the cold.
You can order the Training Workshop DVD from www.leegibsontraining.com
