I would also like to point out that Theo is a werecoyote through the science of the Dread Doctors, and has shown that he knows some of their science. He's resurrected chimeras and helped Malia with the science (the goggles), so far. He's also very driven towards his goals, one of which is being better (he even killed his own sister as a child, for that power).

So, from that alone, we could just as easily make the assumption that he's somehow, maybe with the Dread Doctor's science or maybe by other means, learned to make the full shift.... and that it isn't purely due to his werecoyote half.

Malia transformed out of instinct, and has not been able to do so since. We could assume this is for many reasons. We can guess that the attribute runs in her genetics (oh wait, we actually KNOW it does, because she's a Hale.... guess everyone is ignoring that, though), or we could assume that it was BECAUSE she was a child and had to rely on that instinct.

At the end of the day, we can just as easily make opposing assumptions, to what Paul considers canon. His canon on this is assumption, and we cannot take it as canon.
