Michigan law says the first at three or four months then one year later then every three years. The three year is a better way to go since it is probably the same vaccine anyway. It really doesn't matter how much your dog is exposed to rabies. Giving it every three years has to protect them enough for the gov't to be okay with it. Just because an area has a rabies issue that doesn't mean your dog will actually get bit. All dogs across the country have to have adequate protection and the three year will provide that.
I would follow your state laws as much as possible, because if your dog bites with no rabies vaccine proof, you might have a legal battle and be forced to euthanize or quarantine your doggie.
