I had a German Shepherd who knew my wife was coming home at least 15 minutes before she drove up our long driveway. It was really incredible .

My dog knows if I am going out later.....long before I do anything that could possibly give her a clue! Then she looks tragic and reproachful and makes me feel dreadful.....luckily I do not have to leave her home alone very often!

Circling goes back to tamping down tall grasses when dogs lived in the wild.

I heard a theory that your dog knows when you are ready to come home from shopping or whatever. On one trip I checked my watch before heading home. When I got back, my boyfriend told me that Athena got up at the same time as on my watch and she moved to the back door and waited for my return. Theory proven!!!
