I assume you have Lardy's books. Look at "Training w/ Mike Lardy, Vol 1"
the article on the double T (page 24 - 27).
I'll quote from page 26: "The last step of the double T is to cast your dog to the various piles when he is returning from the main pile with the bumper in his mouth."
Lardy calls this disciplined casting.
He goes on to say (again quoting, this time from page 27): "The main purpose of disciplined casting is to prepare the dog for the "swim-by" procedure - the next and last step of this yard program."
So you can do this and then move on to pattern blinds until the water warms up enough for the swim-by.. at least that's how I read Lardy..
Those Lardy books are worth their weight in gold...
