What It Means When Your Dog Is Pacing Back and Forth

Dogs pace for a variety of reasons. Whether they are bored, nervous, or excited, they tend to pace, just like humans do. If your dog is walking in circles around you, that usually means that they are in the mood to play and want to know if you are interested too.
However, when two anxious or excited dogs meet, it is typical that they will run after each other. That doesn’t mean that one of them is running away in fear, that’s just how they play.
