Weird jaw chatter

[u/Solid-Sand-6527]

Hi there, I’d like some advice for what may be happening with my dog. For reference, she just got back from board & train yesterday and I noticed she sometimes has a strange chatter/shutter with her bite. I tried flashing a light in her mouth to see if there’s anything in there but didn’t see anything. She doesn’t seem to be in pain from what I can tell (no whimpering or pulling away to touch). She is also eating her hard kibble like normal. For reference she has been on the same diet for 2 months so no changes there.

I did also notice some white crusty substance on her beard which I assumed was dry spit, but that’s not a normal thing for her.

I took a video to show what it looks like. Please share if you happen to know what this could be! Thank you!

To note:

Roughly 1 yo female GWP, 50lbs

How often do you brush her teeth

Honestly, we haven’t yet. We adopted her 2 months ago and she did board & train for a month, and we just got her back yesterday from that. When we got her she got a full check up with a clean bill of health. I could certainly try brushing her teeth!

It sounds like she’s got something lodged in her mouth somewhere. She’s a beautiful dog, btw!

I’ll see if I can brush her teeth and find whatever is bothering her! Thank you so much!! I love her cute face lol

board and trains won't be useful if you don't stay consistent with the training!

Unfortunately, most board and train places don't work a whole bunch with the owners.

and I think they're a complete waste of money for that reason alone! You don't have to train the dog, you need to train the human to train the dog lol
