It says MANY of the top canine behavior experts now believe this concept to be incorrect." This isn't the same as saying MOST, this isn't the same as saying ALL, so there could still be over half or even three fourths of the experts who still believe in it. The author of this is giving her opinion. I think the author would have chosen a different word if more than half the experts believed one way.
