    Would be interested to know how many dogs were studied for this and not convinced all cases studied would have ocd.
    There are a few reasons why dogs 'air snap' from neurological / behavior problems to boredom or attention seeking.

    I do not think this is OCD. The following comments:
    • It´s like he sees something. He jumps and when he´s biting, he bites hard,
    • He can do this for hours and he gets more and more stressed when he´s doing it. He never rests between jumps.
    • Texas's symptoms include a behaviour called fly-catching.
    • This is where dogs snap or chomp at the air as if they're trying to catch imaginary flies.
    are all typical symptoms of Focal Seizures.
