With containers at the upper levels I prefer not to pair, just because you do have the distraction factor. But absolutely pay early and don’t wait for more than a hesitation. I find that people don’t practice containers enough and they can be HARD with all the additional challenges! People have a high expectation but not as much training. So yes, back up a few steps and get some good solid success. Proofing is good but only when you’re confident your dog knows his part. 🙂

So, regarding the other area being “set” already, consider what you would do if you had two Interior searches set similarly? 😉
