I'm not sure that my description is entirely correct. But here is this mornings setup:
M1 80 yds, no of the mark
Run Blind 110 yds
Launch M2 angle back 150 yds
Launch M3 145 yds
Retrieve M3, M2 and M1

I am still using a known blind to teach the poison bird concept but I believe he has it now and will start with cold blinds next week.
I made a couple of mistakes. I was slow and should have handled at the tail of the blind when he took the left turn.
When I turned for the launch of M3 I inadvertently said "here" softly causing Rowdy to reposition slightly. Dumb.

One of the rare calm days in TX. But we are starting to get some cover now.
I could have used a video operator to get the full setup in.

Nevertheless I think Rowdy and I are starting to operate as a team. Whatever happen to my little slow dog?

Any constructive comments are always welcome

it ain't poison if you pick it up later. didnt view vid.
I don't "No" a dog off of a mark that is to be retrieved later.
Instead I just heel/here them to line up with blind, Dead Bird, Good, Back....
If bird is thrown right and blind is tight to gun or mark I learned to setup dog on right then flip them, re-heel to left side (opposite).
Don't always do that but it's in the quiver if needed.

An accomplished friend says this is called an interrupted triple.

yeah, we call a delayed triple something like this.

throw first 2 birds. Send dog for go bird. when dog gets back we leave bird in mouth and throw 3rd bird. Take bird send dog for the last bird down. comes back and then he picks up the first bird you threw.

I will say you are getting better as a handler. Still need to slow down on sends between birds
