Dogs usually circle around in one circle because they want to urinate. Or, if the dog is circling around you, then the dog is just trying to protect its owner (I wouldn't blame it LOL).

If your dog is circling in tight circles quickly, enough to get tangled in his own leash, he may be anxious, excited, and needs to burn off some energy. Even if you walk your dog often, they need to be walked every single day. Caesar Milan has said on his shows - The Dog Whisperer - that walking your dog is the most important. He needs to release energy, and you may need to run with him rather than walk with him.

Another thing, if he is doing this when there is another dog nearby, it's either territorial or it is stress (fears). Even if you can't see or hear another dog nearby, he can certainly smell one.
