Why does my dog suddenly get agitated and restless sometimes?

Question

My dog is very agitated at moments like if I had taken her to the park for a walk or something. Then she’ll be ok and then suddenly gets agitated again. She’s been eating and drinking fine, and I’m treating her for an ear infection she has. Any idea of what could be wrong with her?

That is hard to say since Sasha can’t talk and tell you what she is feeling. It’s possible she is uncomfortable somehow (arthritis, urinary tract infection, anal gland problem) or that something in the environment is making her have anxiety. Try taking her for a long walk followed by a training session. See if this helps to get her settled and back to normal. Also check the environment for anything that may cause her distress such as abnormal sounds or being able to see a cat or squirrels out the window. If the symptoms persist for longer than 24 days, have her checked out by her veterinarian for any pain or signs of infection. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.
