chattering teeth?

[kellikans]

not sure if that's the best way to describe it, but it's it's almost like her lower jaw chatters for a second or two when closing her mouth.

background: almost 5 month Pyrenees we rescued.  we've noticed that she kind of shuffles her rear feet when walking (not too significantly, but enough that we've noticed, but have no idea if this is something this breed does).  we've also noticed that her right eye doesn't completely open all the way when she first wakes up (but after she's been awake looks pretty normal).

so, since she's a puppy, could the lower jaw chatter possibly be related to a loose puppy tooth?  she truly only does it for a second when she's closing her mouth.  could it possibly be something neurological?  she acts like a normal puppy otherwise.

I had an adult foster dog that did this. From what I read, it's a reaction to stimulation. Could be excitement, fear, anxiety, etc. It's not positive or negative in itself, you have to look at other behaviors or body language with it.
