It's not just dogs that shake off stress, my horse and parrots do it as well.
I usually try to 'lighten' the mood when I see that. Relieve pressure if training or whatever, or throw in an impromptu quick little game. Something to make the 'shaker' know you understand and are willing to work with them goes a long way toward building trust and bonds, and relieving stress in both you and the animal. |
