   • Staring Into Space. It's not unusual to see a dog with dementia staring into space. The dog may sometimes be looking at the ceiling or wall. This is likely triggered by a dog's sense of disorientation and confusion, which can cause him to feel lost in familiar surroundings, and this is common in dogs with dementia.
   • Barking at Ceilings. The barking may be the result of a dog's disorientation and confusion. By barking, affected dogs may be venting their feelings of anxiety or frustration as they try to make sense of their surroundings.
   • Getting Lost/Stuck in Corners. Just as people with Alzheimer's at times get lost and can't find their way back when taking a stroll nearby their homes, dogs with dementia may get lost in familiar surroundings, such as when they are inside the home.
   • Wandering Aimlessly. Wandering around with no purpose may take place as a result of the affected dog's sense of disorientation. By wandering, these dogs may seek a way out of a place that they may perceive as unfamiliar surroundings.
