Pacing Back And Forth
Your dog paces because they feel excited, nervous, or bored – the same reasons that humans have for pacing around the room! If you see a dog going around in circles or dogs chasing one another when they meet, you are looking at a sign of playfulness. The dog wants to play!

Pointing Their Snout
You might have noticed a dog freezing up and nudging their snout toward something. They might have lifted a front paw as well. Apparently, this is a common thing that dogs do, especially hunting breeds. Dr. Ellen Vindell explained, “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.”
