Teaching Anakin advanced techniques is like giving a toddler a rocket launcher. He is not ready to deal with it. NO matter how powerful you may perceive him to be, he would not be able to use these to the fullest and it may destroy him. Throwing powers left and right takes a toll on the body, as you can see from darth sidious, and remember the dark side screws with your body as it is. Count dooku has much more experience munipulating the force and i do not believe anakin could take him on the first time. There is a purpose to holding him back, even the Sith show some restraint when teaching techniques. Besides when big bad anakin was fully on the dark side, he got whooped by his mentor because of his arrogance and then by his half-trained son using the light side.

Darth sidious was old and got hit by his own lightning on purpose to turn anakin.Also the whole point of becoming a Sith is to gain more power than their master and kill them even the sith masters realize this and would teach the child all they know when they are young so by the time they are Anakins age they are at least as strong as their masters.
