Good video and I agree with most of which you spoke about. I would have ran a short blind in the opposite direction of the marks. Why have other factors pulling attention away from the goal.
For the first cold blind, I want big momentum so I put out a series of bumpers spaced about 30 yards apart at the end of a flat featureless field to ensure success at the end of the blind. Throwing a mark in the field, then running the blind also helps build momentum. From the first cold blind, I want the retriever to think "run to the end of the field": th-cam.com/video/WpR7pmenDa8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=2pividLU6xfq0FRe From the dog's perspective there is a huge difference lining to know locations or a visible marker compared to a cold blind lining to a new unknown destination:.
big fan of dogtra's collars. the collar in the video is the Edge RT. you can scope it out (and others) on our website: loneduckoutfitters.comloneduckoutfitters.com/collections/dogtra-e-collars

What kind of whistle do you use ?
a pealess whistle. they won't freeze during a cold, frigid hunt so you can use the same whistle then as you would during any training session.
