Teeth Chattering

Another odd little Harry habit!

He will be licking you and then suddenly stops and starts chattering his teeth.

Stress thing? He likes the taste is is debating whether to eat me or not?

It's a stress thing, I believe, Sadie does it when there's fireworks.

Hi Wyrd I guess you mean 'juddering' , dogs often do it when they have been licking themselves or each other, I think of it as savouring the taste/ smell .

I had to google juddering as I didn't know what it was, but yes it sounds like jaw juddering.
He gets this slightly odd spaced out look in his eyes which makes me think he may want to eat me

...not sure if I should tell you this but when mating dogs the dog will lick the bitches behind first and will always judder .

I would say in this instance Harry thinks you taste nice nothing more than that

They can also do it when their senses are extremely heightened and their muscles primed for action - though hopefully this is not the case with your dog

This rapid teeth chattering can be a part of a phelman (sp?) response whereby they are using their vomeronasal organ, known as the Jacobson's organ to get extra information. It is particularly sensitive to pheromones

My greyhounds often chatter their teeth, usually when they are excited about something or waiting for their food to be served.
My old girl Lucy will sometimes just lay on the sofa and I will speak to her all silly and the teeth start, it is very funny and extremely cute

My male will do this when he is at stud to a bitch or he is out and sniffing the smell of a bitches urine ... but on the other hand my bitch also does it when she is excited kind of full of adrenaline like when getting ready to go out for a walk
