I think that you meant OCD not ADD.
OCD is obsessive compulsive disorder. GSD are very prone to this,especially with under-exercise & lack of sufficient mental stimulation.
Glad that the tail chasing has improved for your dog. Do remember that if that same 'lacks' that started it go back into place..it WILL most likely start up again, as it is a very self rewarding behavior to the dog.
