I think this is a tough one to answer. Dogs generally don't fit into neat and tidy little boxes. A lot depends on your present training skills, time availability, goals etc. A lot depends on the dog's age, capacity to learn, capacity for stress, stamina, and energy levels etc.
Good point. I would sharpen up my observation skills even further, and then allow the dog's responses, natural inclinations etc. to completely dictate the pace. An actual log book will help to keep track of the past and present state of progress, which may help to develop a more 'tangible' schedule for the future.
