It sounds like your dog might be experiencing some anxiety, excitement, or mild discomfort, which can often lead to pacing and panting. Since this behavior has only been happening for a day, it could be a temporary reaction to a change in their environment or routine. Here are a few things you might want to consider:

Firstly, take a look at your dog's environment. Have there been any recent changes, such as new people, pets, or loud noises that could be causing stress?

Also, consider the temperature. Make sure your dog isn't too hot, as panting is their way of cooling down. It's important they have access to fresh water and a cool place to rest.

Exercise is another factor to think about. Dogs sometimes pace and pant when they have excess energy, so ensuring your dog gets enough physical activity can help them relax.

Lastly, providing a calm and comfortable space for your dog to retreat to can be beneficial if they seem anxious.

If this behavior continues for more than a few days or if you notice other symptoms like lethargy, loss of appetite, or changes in behavior, it might be a good idea to monitor the situation more closely. Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions. Thank you.
