Tuesday 9th September

Hello,
Well today was very wet. I did 6 hours of lessons and it was pretty wet all day. It’s now eased a bit, but tomorrow (Wednesday 10th) I have 9 hours of lessons, so it is a busy one!
I had to write an interview piece this evening for a foreign agility Magazine, well I had to finish it, I’ve been working on it for ages, and I dug out some pictures from the summer. I’ve uploaded a couple, one very nice one of Scotty on the dog-walk!
31 different countries have visited this blog so far, I think thats fantastic and would like to say Hello to everyone who is following it. Tell me about yourselves... & please feel free to comment. I hope the formatting improves though!!
Bye

Ps - poor formatting

Sorry about the poor formatting of the latest post ;)

I am still getting used to it, I shall try harder next time!!

LGT - Sunday

Hey everyone.

With the shows being called off, I put on a relaxed training day for everyone at LGT. Thanks for the great support and it also stayed dry which was a bonus!

We did some exercises about directing dogs into some hard weave entries and were comparing the use of front crosses and cross behinds. Then we worked an exercise with the tunnel under a-frame, this proved to be difficult if the handlers got drawn into the space. I was teaching that if the obstacles are close together, then the dog needs space to work in, or they get “pushed” into the tunnel.

We then had a lunch break, a nice spread that everyone helped put together. After lunch we then had a go at a complete course which we worked several ways. It did have traps in it but depening on body language and shaping/the quing of the dog you could make it easier!
I ran Scott all day, he was good and after some of my weave entry training he got all the entries which was pleasing.

Well done everyone for a fun and worthwhile day, you all worked really well!
As for this week, I have very busy week training, but the forecasts are not great. I have my doubts about next weekend’s show if it carries on like this!
Speak soon - Lee

No show this weekend!

Hey everyone.

Wrexham and Ows show has been called off due to the weather this weekend. Im not surprised to be fair, its been rough this week! I had 5 lessons yesterday and got soaked, the course is land drained so flooding etc is not normally a problem, but I did cancel this mornings lessons as it was just horrid out.

Those of you who train at LGT and have not yet heard from me about Sunday, please contact me. Im not putting anything up on the website cause I cant take more that ive planned for!

On a social note, i think il head out this evening maybe seeing as we now dont have an early start Saturday!!

Stay dry!

The first LGT post

Well everyone seems to be jumping on the blog band waggon, so if you cant beat them join them I guess.

I will be posting when im out and about, cause I have pre historic dial up at home, but il try and keep the blog up todate.

Today I did one lesson in the morning, and it rained all day. I live in Shropshire by the way, and today it felt like December!!

I will post LGT news on here, as well as results and congratulations, and anything else that could be of concern...

actually having read some blogs I dont think they do need to be of concern do they?

here is my favourite song at the moment!!
