It is patently UNFAIR to any dog for an owner and/or handler to attempt to address a behavioral problem through training methods UNLESS they have first ruled out any medical conditions that could either trigger the behavior problem or contribute to its manifestation.
What an excellent post! I totally agree!

You are absolutely on the right track and doing exactly what is needed. Stay on the path your on and follow your plan. You don't need to explain or justify anything, especially to anyone on here.

I'll guess that the low antibody values are good and that elevated would mean he has immune related thyroid issues.
Everything else looks good except QNS (quantity not sufficient) and how important that is.
She is certainly the one to ask. Glad you did it.

Tests are normal....as expected. Let's see what the test panel marketer says. TSH only is the way to go....but hey the wise hexe said, I should have no opinion, since I am not paying for it.
