  • My German Shepherd is a rescue dog, and she paces like that all the time. She also is very vocal, always wimpering and whining as communication even if nothing is wrong.

    Isn't it amazing, the difference in behaviours between a rescue dog and a non-rescue?

  • @SilverGreyEyes - Yes mine wimpers also. It has been 3 years + since this video. He is much better but still and will always have his pacing issues when he is excited or nervous. Like you said, the behaviours are much different from rescue and non rescue. But worth it. He is such a loyal and loving pup.

  • Your dog is suffering from extreme anxiety. Take it to the vet smart guy. NOT FUNNY AT ALL!!!

  • @14badfish Geez use your reading capacity and note that this is a rescued dog that has gotten help. Don't be so quick to judge. On the positive side, pepople who car e about animals are on the good list even if they don't read the whole story first. Funny in the title for me is that my Astro is a general Goof Ball aside from his anxiety which is way better now.

  • @peanutbuttergirl101 How's Astro now days?? Looks like a super high drive dog to me!! Run his butt!! Mine isnt a rescue and he paces if he feels he needs more exercise.

  • @SinnfulSky Astro is doing fantastic. Thanks for asking! 4 years since this video! He still paces a lot when he gets excited or nervous. Because of his past neglect he has permanent compulsion issues. Everything is excessive for him. Allthough we do give him plenty exercise, most of th time he paces more after exercise anyways. After multiple visits with a behaviour expert, we have channeled his behaviour in a more calming one. ( he sucks his stuff toy ). He is a big Mama's boys.

    My family's only ever adopted rescue dogs. To see the difference in their behaviours when they know they're in a loving environment, and they won't be harmed is so beyond worth it.

    Our GS, the first day we brought her home she buryed all her food & toys out in the backyard, preparing for being homeless again. It took her over a year before she realised that wasn't going to happen, and she brought it ALL back inside, which was lovely yet disgusting!

  • I don't think this anxious behavior is funny, in any way, but am really glad to hear he's doing better. Hope he's still okay.

  • My shepherds look just like yours! We rescued a couple of shepherds and the last one has ADD I really believe this. I wouldnt trade her for anything though. Our Lady bug as we call her sucks her baby doll too :>) Love those shepherds!

  • my dog had problems with anxiety ALOT. everytime i took her outside she would get so overstimulated it felt like she didnt know what was going on. what i did is make her play fetch up and down the stairs till she ran off all her anxiety and slept. a couple of sessions of this for like 2 weeks and she now is calm out there.

  • clearly needs to go on a walk

  • awwww she looks just like my german shepherd, Missy

  • @Arlind86 ROFL!!
