Each dog and handler team work at their own pace, so if you miss a class, you aren't really "behind".  

However, each class has "Homework Goals" for where to be at with your skills by the next class, that get slightly more difficult each week and include new things.

​

The idea here is to exceed the training level required to pass the level.  So just because this is the list to pass the level itself, it doesn't mean that's where we stop learning.  If you're past the level on a certain behavior, practice it at whatever level you want to continue improving.

​

Please keep in mind we are still refining our Higher Levels, so the requirements are subject to change.
