(Star Wars: Clone Wars series) why does Sidious seem OK with all the attempts on Skywalker's life by Count Dooku and the Separatists? Is Dooku in the know at all?

Additionally, does Dooku know that Sidious is just using the Separatists?

The Sith take a very Darwinian view of apprenticeship. Why coddle Anakin when the whole point of cultivating him is to make him grow stronger so he can rule by your side? If Anakin was weak enough to be taken out by Dooku or the Separatists, Sidious would view that as evidence that he wasn't actually Sith material in the first place.
