Twice a year is a pretty typical recommendation from vets who recommend doing it at all. It doesn't last that long, unlike the core vaccinations, which can last several years.
It's not so much over-vaccinating as the fact that there can be adverse reactions to a shot for something that the chances are really slim your dog will ever contract. I don't fault people for getting thes if they choose to do it, but I think it can give you a false sense of security. One thing I definitely don't like is when vets give the five-way or seven-way shots. I always try to discourage people from getting those.
