All research with dogs is behind the eight ball not just yearly shots. "We" did not do the leg work as we live with them so we know them.
It is no different than working training or aggression or what is proper socialization... we think what we have been told or old wives tales or has been around is fact when the facts are not there.
We stick to old like glue as it been so ingrained it is not funny.

So we think dogs need shots all the time as it always been that way and no real research been done. till now and now we have to pull teeth to make changes.
We all think Dogs are little wolves so we must feed them and train them as such and no research till now was been done. Now we can not even in the face of facts let go what we learned as youngen and take on what is the research shows.

I see it daily in dog training Alpha rules and what is and should be gets slammed.
We are just understanding that the same metal health concerns we has humans have hit our dog and the same ways to help us help them.
That their little brains may not function far off ours and they feel far more then we think but dogs are still thought to feel no pain or have feelings or think unless we tell them too.

Dr Dodds is the same person many send blood tests too I think for thyroid concerns casuing agresion. Actually my next step.

"we" is in quotes as I do not me we are you and I but we as a group world we.
