Jaw snapping

[hoolah 2]

i have been looking around the last few nights for a awnser to my question but what ever i read im getting different awnsers, eg. silent bark, aggression , so i was wondering what you think

 

 

this video is not mine but simalar to what my pup does, she does it mostly when she plays but its alot louder and she scrunches her face up and shows all of her teeth, she barks aswell so i though it cant be a silent bark.

 

any idea's

my little bitch does this as well but only towards the other dogs, its a loud clacking, she is a nervous dog and does tend towards nervous agression towards starngers both canine and human.

 

i havent a clue why she does it but she doesnt follow up by biting i think she just gets over excited and its a warning towards other dogs telling them she has teeth. she is a kelpie x and she is hyper active and can get really wound up.

 

as long as your dog doesnt follow up with biting then i think its relatively harmless behaviour

Ye she does it alot when she get excited or wants to play with other dogs or humans, one of my freinds she has a 3 year old german shepard and she is stuck up lol! so my pup was jumping around her showing her teeth and snapping her jaw at her lol but then it followed by a bite but i think that was playing lol, and she doesnt like to bother with dogs smaller than her for some reason 3 dogs she has played with havebeen a, bull mastiff, Doberman and the german shepard lol
