I like to build upon when I train. For instance, lets say I go to new water. Depending the level of the dog's capability, I might start with a cold blind the first day. Next day run the blinds and add a mark. Third day, run the blinds add another mark and retire one mark (double marks with double blind) The the next day, throw one mark but run the two blinds first, then the marks plus another single. I'll have added another mark to the double so I'll run three singles. Then I'll come out, throw two marks, run one blind, pick up one mark, throw a third mark, pick up the second blind then the marks. In the end, I may have a quad marks with double blind with two of the marks retiring. Selecting marks and blinds in random order. I get the best results when I build to an entire All Age series on that one piece of water or ground. I like to keep several different areas on both land and water that I can build on.
