20 years ago, I too was an average dog owner clueless abou thow little I knew. You and many others here will never know much about dogs unless you lose your arrogance.

And by the way, if you took time to read my profile or many of my posts, you would know I am far more than a dog walker.
My husband has been a Guide Dog owner for 17 years and I can tell you that in the UK (and most of the rest of the world) Guide Dog schools class the american guide dog schools as poor in quality and method and producing dogs not fit for purpose so you bleeting on about the 'professionals' at your guide dog school doesn't carry much weight either.
I've read too many of your posts for my liking. Your methods are outdated and close on cruel. You say 20 years ago you were clueless about dogs. You still are. You really need to stop being so arrogant and into how wonderful you are and start learning from people who know a lot more than you do (incidentally, I do not claim to be an expert, however I know many people here know a lot more than me which is one of the things I love about this forum - there is always an expert on hand for advice when you need one).

Of course, many dogs do very well on 'cheaper' brands, that is not the real issue. The issue is in the ingredients (or lack of) - there are ingredients in some foods that can cause problems, such as excess sodium chloride and artificial preservatives such as ethoxyquin, BHT and BHA. Also grains, in particular wheat, have been linked to skin problems in some dogs. Protein content can be important, the type of meat, or meat derivative ... etc.
My point is, you are what you eat, to coin a phrase. It is irresponsible, in fact naive, to suggest that ingredients don't matter.
