| commented question | Why does my dog shiver? Dogs shiver for many reasons. Usually anxiety or stress, but often for attention. When a dog is uncomfortable or nervous they want extra attention, but this attention encourages this behavior. Ignoring it or distracting the dog with a new task often stops the shivering and promotes positive behavior |

| commented question | Why does my dog get hiccups? Dogs get hiccups for the same reasons as humans. Eating or drinking too fast or swallowing air. An easy cure is a belly or chest rub, which will lead to a burb or two and no more hiccups. If they're occurring too often, or are upsetting to your dog try out some alternative feeding techniques |
