Shake off
Sign of stress and trying to regulate thir nervous system
Your dog might do a shake off after being confronted by something that makes them nervous like a motorbike going past
Take note to see if they do a full or half body shake.
Did she shake go all the way to the base of their spine, or just their head and shoulders?
Look at the context of what is happening.
If it is raining, or they have just gotten out of a bath, they will shake off to dry off! If there is no water present and they shake off, look at what hsa just happened to see if you can pinpoint a sign of stress that can be worked on
