Pacing and restless is often one of the most obvious and early signs, so pay attention to it.” Dogs can pace for a variety of other reasons, too; stress, anxiety, and bloat aren't the only causes. Dogs will also pace because they are bored or carry excessive energy,
The most common reason for pacing in most dogs is anxiety. A dog who is anxious may start to repeatedly pace around the room in an attempt to discharge negative energy and calm themselves; movement reduces adrenaline levels. Dogs who pace due to anxiety often show the behavior over and over in stressful situations.
