A city sidewalk, a backyard, a puddle on the daily walk. Dogs can encounter the bacteria that cause leptospirosis in places that are part of ordinary life.

Research by Dr. Jane Sykes of the University of California, Davis, and colleagues expanded understanding of this serious disease and the dogs at risk.

Their work documented infections in dogs not traditionally considered at risk, including small dogs and those living in cities.

That research contributed to the evidence behind broader vaccination guidance. In 2024, the American Animal Hospital Association updated its guidelines to recommend leptospirosis vaccination as a core vaccine for all dogs.

Preventing this infection protects dogs and can reduce risk for people, who can also become infected.

🎉 Congratulations to Dr. Sykes and her colleagues, recognized by the AKC Canine Health Foundation (CHF) among the 2026 Canine Health Discovery of the Year Award semifinalists.

Training dogs through the neck only became standard in the last century. Dogs have stood by us for thousands of years.

We were told dogs need correction to learn. A lot of good people believed it.

Your dog doesn’t need it. Dogs follow people they trust.

Since 2012, I’ve been helping people earn that trust. You can become your dog’s best friend, starting with a free 15-minute introductory call at believethedog.com.

We met with this young man last night in consult. Hopefully we will begin helping this young man soon.
