It sounds like your dog is showing some unusual behaviors, such as pacing and repetitive head movements. This could be a reaction to stress or anxiety, particularly if there have been recent changes in his environment, like pest control treatments in your home. Dogs can be quite sensitive to changes around them, and such events can be unsettling.

To help your dog feel more at ease, here are a few suggestions:

Firstly, try to create a calm environment for your dog. Ensuring his living space is quiet and peaceful can be beneficial. You might consider playing some soft music or using a white noise machine to help soothe him.

Additionally, providing comfort can make a big difference. Spend some extra time with your dog, offering reassurance through gentle petting and speaking to him in a calm voice. Often, just being close to their owner can help dogs feel more secure.

Engaging your dog in play can also be helpful. Distracting him with a favorite toy or game can redirect his focus and energy, which can be a great way to relieve stress.

Maintaining a consistent routine is important as well. Keeping regular times for feeding, walks, and play can provide predictability, which may help reduce anxiety.

Lastly, ensure your dog has a safe, comfortable space where he can retreat if he feels overwhelmed.

If these behaviors persist or if you notice any other concerning symptoms, it would be wise to consult with a veterinarian or a professional dog behaviorist to rule out any underlying issues. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
