Pacing Back And Forth
There are a few reasons why dogs pace: boredom, if they’re nervous, or even excited. Sound familiar? Humans tend to pace for the very same reasons. If your dog is going around in circles, however, this probably means they want to play. When dogs first meet, this is how they play with each other.

“Dogs are just dogs, and there are certain behaviors that probably any dog that’s a dog can do…. You’ll see a sporting dog who circles like a herding dog, and you’ll get some herding dogs who point” says Dr. Ellen Vindell. If you see your dog stop and move its snout toward something and lift its front paw, he or she is probably a hunting breed.
