STRESS and anxiety. The dog's frightened. Same symptoms when the dog is suffering from a bout of separation anxiety - he would pant, salivate, whine, scratch frantically to get out if he is in a crate, chew and generally get into a real state.

Do golden retrievers pant often?

Like any dog, goldens pant for a variety of reasons. The main reason is to cool their bodies. Dogs do not sweat, so panting is a means of regulating body temperature. They may also pant when they are thirsty, scared, or excited. If a dog in a calm restive state seems to regularly pant heavy, it wouldn't hurt to have them checked out by a vet just to make sure they aren't sick or wormy.
