I saw something on this on the Daily Mail UK site(which is about as newsworthy as Fox LOL)

dogs are just dogs

Quote:Dogs suffering under canine compulsive disorders have issues with common behaviors such as grooming, tail chasing, blanket sucking or pacing and circling. Don't all pets have issues in those areas?

heh. Yep, I think that's basically what they are saying.

I think when a dog compulsively grooms until he creates a bald spot, that's an issue. Just like humans, they're all normal behaviours but there can be problems with frequency and degree.

I think most dogs do the compulsive licking thing.

I thought all my dogs were just neurotic.

My dog bites her nails. But other than that I couldn't really identify any odd behavior. The things she does, she does for a reason.
