Jane Marple asked:
Is it possible to skip it and go to the next level?
Cause my dog already sit, lay, stay, obeys the re-call, heal, and this with voice or hand command, on leash and off leash.

You can skip and go to the next level as your dog seems to know all of level 1

Sure if the place where you are taking him will allow it. Some places will only take dogs who have completed the basic course with them first. If he knows the basics, I don’t see why you couldn’t move on up to the second course.

Just contact the trainer. They’ll probably want you to bring the dog in so that they can evaluate him/her…. and they’ll also want to evaluate the methods that you use, and how you use them. They’ll let you know what they think is appropriate.

Skip level 1 ? From your comment you have already achieved level 1, 2 and 3 !!
Our human definitions of level – anything – is exactly what you want to define it as. The object of training is to create a bond between the owner/handler (you) and the dog which you both understand and enjoy.
If you believe that you understand the moods and body language your dog portrays – excited, submissive, happy, hungry, and etc. and your dog acts as if he understands everyone of your emotions what more could you ask for.
