My dog Penny is usually the beat behaved hound I have. Now, she is jumping on you, barking and whining. Not normal for her.

Whining, panting and pacing. He also follows us around the house. Not sure what's going on with him. Dad works, I work. And my mom just starting working again in November. I think he is more nervous and scared. It starts the 4th of July.

I was woken by my German shepherd at 3 am crying at My bedroom door. Not normal behavior. I let her out she came in and refused to go back in my room. So I kept her in living room. Woke to her crying at 6 am. She has been unsettled since. Keeps rubbing her face on the couch and will not sit still for long. And keeps trying to lay in bathroom. Very odd behavior.

My family left a few weeks ago on a trip and it's just been me and my dog. She shakes randomly throughout the day, which I believed to be separation anxiety, but today at random points she would pant, shake, drool, and whine while constantly moving into different positions. Could this all be anxiety related? She still eats and goes to the bathroom regularly, but the whines make me think she may be in pain?

I have a 14 year old Jack/Rat Terrier, Dixie. She is almost completely deaf and has cataracts in both eyes. She lost almost half her body weight (which was fine because she was overweight) in about 3 months. The vet checked her blood and found no reason. I began to notice she was having a hard time eating her dry dog food and checked her mouth. She was loosing her teeth and struggling to chew the dry hard food. I put her on a soft diet and she was doing great, she even gained back 1 1/2 lbs. Then last month she started whining , wandering for sometimes an hour at a time, just walking and wandering room to room. She goes to the door and barks wanting out every 30 to 45 min. once outside she just stands with her nose in the air and barks. She will pee sometimes, but after 3 to 4 min she barking to come back in. She walks around whining and is laying places she has never laid before. She stays under my feet and moves when I do. She has never been a needy dog, never cared much for being loved on or petted. She liked to lay next to me on the couch and slept at my feet on the bed. But several years ago I noticed her having trouble jumping up and down, being afraid she was going to hurt herself I stopped letting on the couch and bed. She seemed fine with sleeping in her bed until a couple of months ago and she looks for other places to sleep, a pile of laundry in the laundry room, clean clothes in a basket, she will pull the quilt from the foot of our bed to the floor and lay on that. But when the whining and wandering around started I am just confused as to how to help her.

We've had our dog Jasper for ~6 months. When we first got him he had a very hard time settling down for the night and would pace the house, bark at us, etc. He is a rescue so has obvious stress. Only a crate could calm him down. Now he sleeps with us in our room just fine and is crated 2X a week and the other days he goes to dog daycare. We both work full time but spend a lot of time with him still. He does not exhibit separation anxiety but recently (after we picked him up from his boarding stay) he has exhibited some odd behaviors. At least 3X over the last two weeks he has had a hard time settling again and will not sit in one spot for long. When he does get up he comes and stares at us and whines (we take him out to potty but he won't go) and starts panting as if he's stressed. This is also occurring when he is clearly very sleepy so should be able to go to bed. We cannot figure out why. He has had normal bowel movements, is eating, and exercising regularly. It's driving us nuts and has me very worried! He has never been able to chill. He is either going hard chewing/playing or sleeping, there is no in between. We cannot even sit down and watch a TV show for an hour. I am not sure if it is physical or mental but I want to help him.
