Our club trains 3-4 times a week. Sometimes we do 'bits' inbetween.. sometimes we don't LOL!
As to whether or not you spouse should do bitework, it depends on the dog. Some dogs see it as a big old game, in which case (assuming the spouse knows what they are doing and don't screw up the dog) you are golden. On the other side of the coin my hubby is my main decoy/helper, and my dogs are pretty serious and I have done decoy work with his dog. We live a funny life out here, he never has anything to do with my dogs other than working them, and vice versa. I don't even think we have petted each others dogs. Our working dogs are (and have to be) kenneled or crated or else one of us would end up in a whole world of hurt!
We tried bite work on our dog schh3 dog last week who has been 3+ months without a bite because she was imported and we couldn't hook up with the right people or club. The dog loved it. My husband was the decoy and probably not a very good one… but I think he could be a good decoy with proper training... he defiantly has the nerves for it.
The dog was all wiggly and happy after it was over and loving on both my husband and myself. My biggest concern is ruining the relationship my husband has with our dog so we will find someone else... but now that my husband has tried it he's all wiggly and wanty about getting into it. It was an adrenaline rush for him.

A young dog 2 times a week on its own training field on a decoy that he knows. When he is almost ready you add a training on another field with his decoy. If he feels comfortable you can start to switch trainingfields and decoys in preparation off competition
With a dog that is ready to trail you train 2 a 3 times a week and certainly not the day befor the trail. You can't rectify anything than.
Befor championships you have to train light to give the dog confidence
It is important to get,with a young dog, the basics right. The preparations for an excercice have to be the same time after time in order to let the dog know what is comming. If the basis is right the dog can always fallback on it when he comes in trouble.
Outside training you have to be concequent with your dog so he knows exactly what you want from him
And relaxation running and playing do wonders for the mental health off your dog ( and yourself if i may add)

We start our dogs off from pups working and getting used to working on other fields.
In the winter time my 5mos old gets 1 or 2 sessions a week with the club. Each session is only 10 - 20 min for bite work. OB is daily for 2- five/ten minute sessions. I'll do some grip work if we find he needs it, but I'm going to try and hold off on the prey building at home now and just save it for training sessions with the club. My biggest problem is getting it through my head that less is more with a young dog. As he gets older his work frequency will go up quite a bit.
