It's not a clear rule, at least not very clear to me. If I train the dog for each task individually, a basic guard dog costs more than an attack helicopter. If I am only meant to train the dog by training level, then every guide dog is also a combat-capable attack animal. Clearly, their is something frakked up with both of those options...
Please show me where it explicitly says you have to pay separately for every single thing the animal is trained in, because I'm just not seeing it and, given the examples in the sidebar on page 37... which are the ONLY examples that are relevant, since they're the only examples that deal specifically with purchasing a pre-trained animal... there is absolutely no indication that this is the case.
The examples listed p38 are exactly that, examples of what is available at certain levels. You pay based on the most advanced skill the dog has, not for each individual skill.
He is trying to have multiple advanced training programs, or more specifically, ALL of THEM. A Seeing Eye Drug Sniffing, Search and Rescue, Tracking, Guard-Disable Attacker, trained-to-deal-with-gunfire superdog. That much training without augments would be insane and probably impossible. He also believes that the skills of the levels prior aren't included with teh higher levels.
Here is how I see it: If you buy seeing-eye training, your dog gets:
Instinctive: Sit, Lay Down, Crate Training, Bark on Command
Basic: Shake, Recall, Heel, Stay
Moderate: Attack or Defend on Command, Jump Through
Hoop, Follow Obstacle Course (off-leash, verbal/visual
commands), Dodge
Advanced: Guide Dogs for Disabled
