I feel like we are going really far afield here, and methods for training dogs are getting compared to entire value systems and commentary about modern life, which I don't know how to address. The only reason I brought up the meds thing was as an example of VS continuing to use new discoveries to help dogs. It at most tangentially related to whether Ritalin is over-prescribed.

I feel like there's this undercurrent of "progress is bad" or "people are too soft" which somehow means that all research done in the past 50 years on animal behavior is meaningless, and there's no point in trying to learn anything more than we already know.
