1) It is imperative the dowel (soon to be dumbbell) remains hidden until the moment it is presented at the lips with the command of "Fetch". Why? Because in two weeks, we go into the actual ear correction and the learning dog will look for and launch to get its mouth on the item (dowel) wherever the dog sees the dowel. Do notice where you kept the dowel showing? You really don't want a dog attempting to put its mouth on the dowel anywhere NEAR that part of your body, do you? Keep the dowel hidden.
