Pacing Back And Forth
One reason your dog could be pacing is that they feel nervous. Another is that they feel excited, or even bored. They like pacing around the room for the same reasons humans do. When they’re going around in circles, they most likely want to play with you. This is how dogs chase each other when they meet – it’s a sign of playfulness.

Pointing Their Snout
Have you ever seen a dog freeze and nudge its snout towards something? They might also lift a front paw in this case. This action is more common among hunting breeds, but pretty much all dogs do it. Dr. Ellen Vindell said, “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.”
