Today it has not stopped snowing all day, the piles of it cover the barriers in the middle of the road, its really like nothing Ive seen before, yet life seems to go on as normal... so I know I am not in the UK!
Had two good training sessions today, trained from 10-1pm and then 1.30-4.30pm. The venue is just fantastic, its like an indoor astro-turf football pitch, and its heated. Just brilliant for running the dogs on, and there is loads of room.
We have focused on some of the basics today, and getting the dogs to work away from their handlers in the direction of jumps even if the handler is on the far side. We are going to build on this for tomorrows training also.
We are going to eat out this evening, and maybe drink out too! I have taken lots of pictures but cannot connect the camera to the pc, so il upload them next week.
Best wishes from Lee (Its not -5 anymore thankfully!)

Norway
I am writing this from my bed as I am pretty tired after today. I woke up in Shropshire, drove to the NEC, visited Crufts, Flew to Amsterdam (late!) transferred (ran!) and am now in Tronsberg, Norway! Quite a day!
It is snowing loads here, and the snow around the place when you are driving is immense, there’s loads of it. I am glad that I am indoors this weekend though!!
Have had a very good laugh with the two people Im staying with, they are great and we already have some England v Norway banter on the go.
The training this weekend is mainly going to be on weaves, jumps, handling, turns and tunnels (tunnel traps etc) and I am looking forward to meeting the groups tomorrow morning.
Best regards all – Lee

Training Exercise & update March 2nd
Here is a training plan which I promised to put up on the blog from a recent training event. Use this exercise to practice the weave entry and turning the dog so they are aware of where the weaves are, before we give the obstacle command.
I have been busy training quite a lot recently. I am visiting Cruft’s Thursday of this week, and then I am flying to Norway on Friday for a training weekend. I am very excited as I have not been to Norway before.
Best wishes to all - Lee

Newton Heath Agility Video
Newton Heath:
The dogs worked really well at the show on Saturday. I was very pleased with jack & Che (3rd & 4th) in the grade 7 and Scott’s runs in the grade 5. He was starting to come in around the wings nicely, which I think you can see in the video. I wish it was not ages until Border Collie show in March!!
Well done to Dave & Cae who had a 2nd, as did Clare and Maggie. Also well done for Zac at his first show doing very nice runs.
Enjoy the video: Thank you very much Gina!! http://www.dogsdodance.co.uk/

Tuesday 17th
Hello,
Nothing that exciting to report, so I won’t write a massive post, but the snow has finally melted and today (Monday) I managed to resume training sessions again. It has been a nightmare two weeks; let’s hope it will be warm for the next few months!!
I have been beginning to think about the show next Saturday at Newton Heath, I have done nothing with Scotty, so I’m not anticipating great things, but the season feels a bit nearer now, and that will be fun!
I am tired now from a long run I did with the dogs this evening. Take care all.
