Dogs can get bored and anxious without enough physical exercise and mental stimulation. Often times they will develop a "nervous" habit of pacing, or chasing their tails, or chewing on furniture or digging. The first thing to try is physical exercise. Dogs need to be walked and walked and walked and WALKED. Not just taken outside the front door to have a bathroom break but really given a work out with running if possible.
The second thing to look at if they have PLENTY of exercise is mental stimulation. Does the dog have other dogs to play with? If the dog is friendly with other dogs take him to a dog park a couple of times a week. There are also dog toys that have areas in them to hide treats or peanut butter (doggy favorite) that challenges the dog to work at it to get to the treat - giving them something mental to do.

Why does your miniature schnauzer walk in circles?
Our miniature schnauzer used to walk in circles (on the leash) and this later turned out to by a symptom of blindness. A quick way to determine whether your schnauzer is blind is something called the "menace test." Crinkle up some newspaper into a ball and thoss it lightly directly at your dog's face. If he does not react to it before he is struck, then he may be visually impaired. PLEASE, never throw anything at your dog that might cause him injury. Use only a small amount of newspaper that will not harm the dog. There is an alternative answer to this question and that is if a dog wants to get away and is teathered on a leash, the only way for him to continue running non-stop is to "orbit" around the dog walker.
