All of our advanced programs are designed to build on previous basic programs. If the dog has an area of weakness or has had steps skipped in a basic program, it must be addressed before the dog is able to move into an advanced program.

It is not fair to the dog to try to build a lesson if there are building blocks missing from their foundation. Ultimately, having to review or revisit areas of a basic program will produce a better, more stylish, and more reliable retriever in the end.
