Teresa; such a great post!
The only thing and I have only 7 years not 30 in obedience training, is that and this somewhat took me by surprise, is that your dog can be fine for 3years or 5 years, and even one year with another doggie in the house, and then whamoo, something happens the first time; then maybe a week or a month goes by, and whamoo again a snap or a serious growl, and not even with the same situation!. The thing is it is not "whamoo", it is just you didn't notice or see, the subtler build ups to the behaviour.
Obedience training happens for-ever over the life of your dogs.
Teresa helped me a lot with Razzle. She knows what she is talking about! Listen to her.
I would also get a health check for her as well. What are the eye drops for? Is she losing vision? And yes when medicating a dog, it is best to go into a private room with her.
