This seminar takes a look into mental disorders in dogs.  Why are so many dogs anxious?  Anxiety plagues many dogs and affects their quality of life.  And for some dogs, compulsive behaviors like spinning, light chasing, licking, and more, cause them and their owners extreme stress.  We will explore these mental conditions and have a discussion of identifying and working with dogs that suffer from these conditions.
