Events are often run in rain, even torrential rain, but judges suspend an event the instant lightning becomes visible. Everyone goes to their vehicles and waits for the lightning conditions to end.
I think that's the rule that trainers, training alone or with a group, should also follow.

Lindsay Ridgeway's reference blog, a compilation of ideas for training retrievers for US field competition without the use of electronic collars, heeling sticks, or other physical aversives. The term "2Q" means that Lindsay tries to limit his training to only two of the four Operant Conditioning quadrants, adding or subtracting rewarding stimuli. In practice, however, 2Q training means training without physical aversives, and the dog may still learn some skills as avoidance behaviors.
