Hello,
It’s been a little while since I’ve posted, have been enjoying the festive season and relaxing!
Scott has been working hard on a new turn method I have been using, based on a technique from Finland. I will tell you more about it soon but he is now starting to wrap and prepare for each jump, its coming on very well.
I would now like to say a HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone, please keep supporting LGT and this blog, it is really appreciated. I would like more people to become LGT Blog followers, if you would like to follow the LGT blog then please follow the link in top left of this screen.
HAVE A GREAT 2009 – HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!
Best Wishes - Lee

Finland Update Day 2
Moi, Hello!
I’m having a well deserved rest day today! I have been in Helsinki since Wednesday evening. We landed in snow, but that has since gone.
Last night I conducted a 2 x 2hour training seminar for 2 groups of 5. We specifically looked at shaping the dogs onto tight turns from a distance. I was working with the handlers on having the confidence to send their dogs into turns, waiting and rewarding them for making the turn. This was giving the dogs confidence and drive into the jumps.
A quick summary from last night (Hope you can understand my Finnish!)
Muistakaa tekniikat joita harjoittelimme. On tärkeää antaa koiran tehdä käännökset itsenäisesti ja palkata koira siitä, että se etenee itsenäisesti seuraavalle esteelle.
Ratapiirustukset tulevat tälle sivulle, kun olen takaisin Englannissa.
Jotkut kysyivät koulutus DVD:stäni. Voit tilata omasi netti sivuiltani: www.leegibsontraining.com

LGT Workshop DVD - Out Now
Hey everyone...
It is finally done!!! I have copied the text below from my website:
"The eagerly anticipated LGT Workshop DVD is now available.
It is my pleasure to introduce the new Training DVD from LGT. With six separate chapters studying Common Traps, Weaves, Contacts, Obstacle Discrimination, Waits and Working Courses, the LGT Workshop DVD gives structure and explanation to what you should be training with your dog, and why.
In a watchable and entertaining format, the DVD not only introduces and applies key training skills that Lee has developed, but also gives examples, course plans, summary pages and various demonstrations of how to teach, assess and build on the skills being taught."
Find out more at http://leegibsontraining.com/ and click DVD page or click the image above.
I would like to thank my co-producer Gina Graham for all her hard work and dedication to make this project happen!! Many Thanks.
Best wishes - Lee
ps - LGT xmas dinner pics coming soon, well done for the attendance and dress code!!

Hello,
Not much to report because again, this week has fallen bad of a frozen course. I’ve done about 3 lessons that’s been it. Also done nothing with my dogs (except walk them), but have been busy all the same working on my project!!
Am looking forward to the show on Saturday but more towards the LGT Xmas party, Saturday evening, will be a fun event. Black Tie remember...!!
Hope everyone reading this is well. Best wishes

Wyre 6th December
Hey everyone, It’s been a funny old week this week. The sub zero temperatures have meant I lost 4 days of lessons to the weather, but I’ve been working at a local bar which has kept me busy. Also been working very hard on the Latest LGT project, news is about to break on this, I can’t say just yet, but I will break it here on the release date (later this week!).
Scott had 3 really good runs yesterday, the best being a 5th in grade 5 agility with some nicely held contacts, and nearly going up the aframe two obstacles too soon! He also ran very well in the jumping, just two poles, and the agility, where I sent him over the wrong jump! He was working very well.
Jack had some excellent runs, especially in the grade 7 jumping, and Che managed three clears out of three, and a 10th place.
Well done to David and Cae who won again (now in grade 5!), this time grade 5 jumping small, and also Gina with Rum who won grade 5 jumping large. Well done to the other LGT members who also did well. Lyn had a clear with Flynn in G3 Alice and Christine also had some nice runs.
Im off to work now, was frozen out again today, will see for tomorrow!
