Pacing Back And Forth
Your dog might be pacing because they feel nervous, excited, or bored. They like to pace around the room for the same reasons we do! When they are going around in circles, they likely want to play with you. This is the way dogs chase each other when they meet. Yes, it is a sign of playfulness!

Pointing Their Snout
Have you ever seen a dog freeze up and nudge its snout toward something? They might also lift a front paw. This is common among hunting breeds, but just about every dog does it too. 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.”
