I was actually replying to Lisa, even though she quoted you. I am under the impression that she feels that a dog should be solid off leash prior to drive buiding and bite training. She is new to this, for the most part so am I. I knew that you were referring to a more accomplished dog, and that she pulled your quote into her post out of context. I wanted to explain to her how it worked, as she stated she is looking to learn.
Writing is not my best form of communication. I agree the way you described the foundation ect.. You gave Lisa good advice
I think the drive of a dog pretty much tells the way a program should go and drive building as well.

I for one have had a lot of help from some of the members on this forum including the owner Ed,
G.S being new to me but not Dogs in general.But i do know that sayings or some English speaking terms, get out of context at times, although we all speak the same language there are certain phases that differ from country to country. and sometimes it is taken the wrong way by some including myself
For my two pence worth on this subject, i do not see any reason at all to push a Dog forward to any other disapline until he is under the control of the owner on and off the leash
Least ways that is how i am going to be with Fred, I will not take any chances with more foreward work until i am happy that he is 100% as safe to my commands, its not fair or worth the risk to the people in gerneral nor is it fair to the Dog, My Opinion of Course, but everyones
Ah thanks John for this explanation, wandering topics aside I was starting to become confused about obedience and prey and drive stuff. Your explanation makes perfect sense.
