First of all, don't spank your dog. This will surely lead to the dog possibly cowering in fear everytime you are near him or simply raising a hand to him. Training your dog to obey without spanking is the better way to go, IMO.
Maybe the dog saw something in your closet, an insect, mouse, etc? This might explain why he's staring at the closet and his eyes going back and forth.
Spend some time making sure you are giving plenty of TLC to your dog. Amazingly they do sense kindness and will reciprocate it back to you if you treat them well.
