I have just got back from 5a side we lost again, however being 9-2 down at half time to losing 12-10 shows how well we battled back.
This weekend I have Dashin dogs show, I have 4 runs for each dog each day, meaning I will have 12 runs each day.. I will never walk all my courses im sure!!

Thursday 24th
Hello,
It seems ages since I have written on here, seems like I have been quite busy the last week or so and also have not had any real good news to report regarding training or shows!
At least the high lights have been the fact that I scored 7 goals in two games for the five-a-side team, (however we only managed a draw and a loss despite being on top in both games!) and Everton have won three straight games without conceding!
As for the dogs, at Bromsgrove last weekend I had a 2nd with Jack in 1-7 jumping, Che had 6 out of 6 clears, and Scott was being a little bit careless with poles. So he has to learn the hard way and if he is careless, he doesn’t get to do his agility. He does not like being taken out of classes, but I think it maybe might just make the point a little more clearly for him! (Scott makes it very hard to pick him up after knocking a pole by going extra bendy!)
Well done to David and Poppy for winning grade 5 jumping at Bromsgrove, well deserved as it was a cracking run. Good on you.
I am writing a chapter for a book that is soon to be published in the UK, it is all about dog sports, and I am doing a section in it. We took some photo’s earlier in the week to demonstrate some of the training points discussed in the chapter. I think once the book is finished... it will be a good read and well worth investigating to get a copy of.

Show Update
Hello,
This weekend I was at Gillingham show, it was a bit of come down to earth after our fantastic weekend at Dog Veges.
Scott managed just one clear round out of 5. He was way to hyper after not having a show last weekend due to high peak being cancelled. I trained him a fair bit during the week but he was crazy at the show. The weaves caused us a few problems which was a shame and something I want to again practice.
Che ran fairly well, and was unlucky (to say the least!) not be in the Champ final having had two clears. Jack was going very quickly over the weekend and I kept managing to mis-time things and flick him over the backs of jumps rather than the right side, but never mind.
The journey to the show was the worst, the Sat nav did not care I had a van and caravan and took us through the middle of Bath and over a narrow toll bridge, which ended up being a master class in close narrow driving!
I have a few lessons this week, but am busy sorting out training days and lessons for the next few months, I seem to be behind on all the emails etc!
Really good luck to the British Agility team at the world championships, as well as the Danish Agility team who I also support! Good luck.
Take care – Lee

Scotts 7 Wins!!
Hello,
Firstly I would like to thank everyone for being so nice about Scott this weekend, I was over the moon with how well he applied himself and worked.
Scott had 12 runs, 7 wins (4 x Agility6 and 3xJumping6) and one second place. He worked very well and also only knocked just two poles all weekend. A fantastic return. Jack and Che also had some great runs in the 7 classes, I had a few places with them too.
Several people I train also won this weekend, Wendy Williams won a 5 jumping, Gina won with Ember, David and Cae also won grade 7 classes, I think Ceri won with Kelta and Janet Jones won out of grade 1 by also winning a grade 1 agility class. Janet also did me proud in the First Contact final coming 5th out of 30! Lyn and Miranda also had top ten places, and well done to Ray Woodcock who has another win towards grade 7 with Spike. Well done every one.
Thank you to Gina for lending me her camera... and to Ceri for filming every run for the last few weeks (you will be happy Gina wants it back!) however I am going to be uploading a compilation of Scott’s best runs in the next few days, which I will post up here.
Also I have to give thanks to Dog Veges for a great show, especially the super surface!
I am still selling many copies of the LGT workshop DVD , and have had some really good feedback about it in recent weeks. To order your copy visit www.leegibsontraining.com
Some people have also been asking about Taddymoor Scott’s breeding lines. I am possibly the worst person to ask about this as I have a very limited knowledge about lines and breeding etc! Scott’s profile however is on www.anadune.com which will be much more informative than I am!
I will load the video soon...
