Tonsberg agility training
Hello, This is the first time I have been able to get onto my blog since I have been away! The last two days over the weekend have been really good fun. We have been training contact pieces and the importance of fine exact details with regard to the contacts. Yesterday we developed the idea of independence with the weaves also, encouraging dogs to be independent and drive into the weave whilst remaining accurate with the weave entry itself.
The weather has been very wintery here over the weekend. It was -14 when I arrived. This morning it was still -6. Has snowed most of the time also, although everything carries on!
Here are the two course plans from the weekend – (see below)
Thank you to Birgitte for another great stay, and everyone on the course for a fantastic attitude and application. Keep up the good work! A well done to my fellow trainer Lars Bang who was teaching cross behinds and worked his group really well.
Nina Hansen has taken some great photos of the weekend, so I will get some of those loaded up on here as soon as I can! Thanks for letting me use those.

Rugby show and LGT meal
Hello,
I had a very energetic weekend. At Rugby show Scott and Jack both were clear in the agility and both knocked a pole in the jumping class. I left before the prize giving so don’t know where I finished.
The LGT Christmas dinner was Saturday evening. I have some pictures and I will try and get those uploaded to here. It was a fantastic evening.
Sunday I had a day of lessons and then Monday took Anna to Heathrow to fly her and her dog back to Finland. I left at 2am!! Never had so much pro plus and coffee in one day. After visiting my Aunt in London and coming back to Shrewsbury, we had 3 40min games of 5-a-side, I collapsed in bed last night!
Today I have spend shipping DVD’s!
I am now looking forward to training in Norway this weekend. I have heard it is rather cold in Scandinavia right now!?
Pictures coming soon..

Wyre show, update of where and what I am doing & a fun course plan
At last I can write a few positive things on here for a change! Although when I planned to do this Monday I was in no fit state to write anything because of possible food poisoning or a viral bug. Which- ever it was, I do not want it again. A very un-enjoyable 24hours!
In fact I am a bit concerned about my ill-fated last few . First it was my ankle, two weeks later some idiot writes my car off by driving straight into me, another two weeks and I am crippled with food poisoning... and what am I doing in two weeks from now? Taking a flight...
Any way enough of that fate, I don’t think I have ran over mystic meg recently or broken any mirrors (yes Q the “did you look in one joke!”) so here’s my decent interesting blog update that I promised!
Tuesday was my recovery day, but being a man and not wanting to make a meal of anything ;) I had a couple of lessons and then a training night in Hereford.
We focused on discrimination and also so jump space exercises. It was a fun night, especially the hot punch that was served, went down a treat! The course plan is below. I have merged the three exercises in to one big super-sized discrimination course. It is fun, just don’t knock the first pole down, kind of ruins the rest!
Back to Saturday and the show at Wyre, we had a successful day. Jack had a 2nd in G7 Agility, a 7th in jumping and a 11th in the other agility. Che had a 15th in the jumping. Scotty was working very nicely. A couple of poles in the first two runs, but a great clear and 8th place in 6&7 agility at the end of the day was pleasing. Scott was 1.12 from the winner’s time, and 0.9 from second place.
Mum did well at the show with Flynn, having a 4th in 1-3 jumping and a 10th in 3-5 agility. Well done!
Sunday was another day of losing lessons because of the horrid weather, and the general state of the ground. The ground is not really in great shape this week but I have trained Tuesday, Wednesday and all being well some on Thursday & Friday.
Saturday the 12th is Rugby Christmas show, the warm up for the LGT Christmas Dinner in the evening. I am dead excited about it and look forward to seeing everyone in something different from muddy tracksuit trousers and fleeces... or should I say full waterproofs considering the recent weather! It was fun last year and this year will be just as good.
I am also planning for my up-coming training trip back to Scandinavia. I am returning back to Norway in a week and also meeting up with Lars Bang (Denmark) as we do a joint training seminar in Tonsberg, Norway (19th & 20th).
I will put some dinner photo’s up here soon. Yes I will wear a suit, and not the Santa suit I won at the Wyre raffle on Saturday, as amusing as it maybe, the leg piece is ultra small and would not leave much the imagination ;) and I do try to be modest if I can.
Before I go I have to make a shameless plug I am afraid. The LGT Workshop DVD. It would make a fantastic Christmas present. The DVD is packed full of exercises, course plans and training tips and ideas. It is broken down into 7 sections, including waits, obstacle discrimination, contacts & common traps, amongst others! I have had fantastic feedback and would like to thank everyone who has ordered it for supporting myself and Gina who helped me produce the DVD. I am sure you will find it useful.
Order direct from http://www.leegibsontraining.com/
Best wishes everyone. I will update hopefully after the dinner (I am sure there will be some very mature pictures from that!) and also from my time training in Norway next week.
