Horse racing. Horse racing has perhaps the most glamorous image of all so-called animal 'sports' (especially when compared to the visually obvious cruelty of rodeos)... Such is the allure of horse racing that major race-meets such as the Melbourne Cup are even 'celebrated' with public holidays.
Behavior modification has been found to be successful in treating disorders like attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), phobias, separation anxiety, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), disruptive behavior and autism, among other conditions.
Many children and teens with ODD also have other behavioral problems, such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, learning disabilities, mood disorders (such as depression), and anxiety disorders. Some children with ODD go on to develop a more serious behavior disorder called conduct disorder.
