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...

Dashin Dogs & Dog Vegus

Hello,
Just a note as to where I am! Last two days I was at Dashin Dogs, Scott had 2 x 4th places and a 9th. I made some handling mistakes though so I was slightly annoyed with myself! Jack had a 4th and Che had an 8th so all in all, despite the poor weather it was a good couple of days.
I am now at Scunthorpe, Dog Vegus is on for 4 days this weekend. I am very much looking forward to it.

Here is Scotts video from France in July, notice Scott needs some table training!

Dogs In Need Update

Hello,

A good week so far. Jack had a 3rd today in the Power & Speed Final, I was really pleased as he pulled it out and really worked hard.

Scott has had a 5th Place in the grade 6 agility class on Wednesday, he worked nicely also, however the jumping was not quite as good, the course catching Scott out very early on... or me... it was one of us who decided we go 1 - 5 !!

Lovely weather and some nice pictures (thanks Emily Barnes) and all of my runs have been put on video (thanks Ceri Jones) I cooked everyone breakfast this morning to say thanks... we will all probably be ill in the morning!

Update

Hello,
This is a live update from dogs in need agility show. Today we have arrived and set up after a very busy weekend at the Kennel Club Festival.
The highlights for me were two of Scott’s runs, and Che getting into and going clear in the British Open Final. He did really well and tried his best!
Scott managed 7 not so clever runs, and 2 stunning runs. He came 6th in the British Open agility heat on Saturday, and 3rd in the EO ranking event on Sunday. He was working great.
Gina has very kindly lent me her video camera and ive been getting people (mainly Ceri.. thanks!) to film my runs with Scott, so Im hoping to get some footage online after we are back.
We have two runs each day all of this week (except Thursday which is a rest day!) so hopefully Jack Che and Scott will have some good results to report.

August 1st

Hello,

The internet has been a bit hard to get to over the last few weeks as I have been so busy. After Denmark and the success of both my dogs there (Scott’s 1st & Jacks 3x 2nd Places), I also competed in France where Jack had a 2nd and a 5th place.

Scott was working very well there, however the 2-on-2-off method on the table was not quite what the judges wanted, so we did not have any clears.

I have been very pleased with how Scott worked at the shows and I am happy that August gives us many competition days, which I am really looking forward too. It will be nice to continue working together on the harder courses. Scott has also gained a lot of confidence from doing some more independent work than before, something which I know I need to do more of!

Our next shows are the KC-Festival and Dogs In Need. I will update as we go.

Best wishes to all.

Scott & Jack Win in Denmark!

I had to get this up onto the blog as the week has some how got better and better! I have ended the week with 3 silver medals and 1 gold medal... and 2 Danish Agility Champ tickets, one for each dog!

Scott was first and Jack was second in the same A3 Agility class on Friday, a fantastic run by both dogs, I was very proud to be up on the podium with my England flag!!

The show is over now, it has been a fantastic week. The dogs have worked really well and behaved themselves mostly, the exception being some suspicous crumbs and wrapping paper being left behind by Scott after he decided to eat Jacks prize for the day!!

Regards

Denmark Update

Hello, Just a quick note as I have only a few mins on my laptop using the hotels wifi! I have been running all week at Jutlandia Cup, and on Wednesday managed my best result over here by coming 2nd in Class 3 Jumping with Jack. It was a tough course but a super run!

Scott has been finding it a little tough over here, but we are still improving!

Weather has been very hot, lovely until late in the evenings. Its been almost a none-stop party this week.

I am also pleased as some of the handlers who were on my training seminars have won and had some high places.

Regards - Lee
