We were at Vigreskogen on Saturday, along with John, Ghita and KaiErik who had B-assessments. A fantastic morning all in all - all 3 passed their assessments and are now B-qualified. Well done and congratulations all of you 
After lunch the forest was free for the rest of us to train. I had a reasonably long session with Mist - the plan was to test her bark indication on rundering, and include some ‘empty’ loops. Well, it must have been a day for success, because Mist did just what I wanted. She needed no help with indication even when Ritva was under a jervenduk. The empty loops she took in her stride - searched well and then came when I called. A couple of times I couldn’t see exactly where she was and she returned to me on the midline, from behind. So, I could do to include some practice in getting her to advance in the loop. But her runouts were excellent - more-or-less straight out every time and plenty far enough.
Pattern - F F B F B B F F B F. Or something like that! We’ve only tried empty loops once or twice before so I was very pleased. 
After everyone had had a first session, Ola and I used the ‘baby forest’ to train article indication. At first it didn’t go so well and Mist picked up sticks in frustration and didn’t bark. But then we tried hanging the article (Ola’s jacket) in a tree, and it worked perfectly. Mist stood right under it and barked and barked until I came.
A good day

A bit belated, I know. But, anyway…. Congratulations!
Krissi & Snuppa passed their ‘B’ assessed week, plus the ‘B’ tracking test - just the rundering test to go before being B qualified.
Frode & Bandit passed their ‘A’ assessed week. Great news!

Yippee! At last! Krissi and Snuppa have passed the obedience test, which they needed before travelling to the Northern Norway training course in less than two weeks time, to take their B-course!
Well done both. Knew you could do it - now the whole of Rogaland knows you’ve done it, after all that celebratory shouting last night

Congratulations to Sylvelin for qualifying as a NRH instructor - you must have felt a little under pressure when Tone qualified at the MidNorway course 
And congratulations to Jørn and Kazan for re-qualifying
We knew you’d do it!

Congratulations on passing the Orienteering test I’m surprised there was anyone in a fit state to ‘assess’ after the party the night before

We spent 5 hours at Sviland today! Johannes (and Lucky) was to take both A-qualification Tracking and Rundering (structured search) and Aud would take Tracking Re-qualification (she qualified with Odin in 2005 and so this year has to re-qualify) having passed Rundering re-qual a few weeks ago.
Ghita and I met at Sviland at 1530 and Mist got to go for a walk in the forest with her two dogs, Australian Shepherd Dewie and Tervueren Kharma. Mist was in her element - two friendly grownup dogs to (try to) chase around the forest
Ghita and I laid out the trails for the Tracking tests, then stayed around to time the tracking later on. As more and more people arrived - organisers, assessors, ‘bodies’ for the search test - so the number of dogs careering round the carpark area increased. Great socialising opportunity for little Mist, who just loves the chance to run around with the ‘big dogs’ - she has also discovered she fits under cars if she needs a break
And afterwards……..
Congratulations to Johannes for successfully passing his A-Tracking test
