Dislodging an Object in Their Ear
Since pooches don’t have opposable thumbs, head shaking is the easiest way to get rid of an object that is stuck in their ear.
Loosening Up in the Morning
Just like humans tend to stretch in the morning when first getting out of bed, your pet may just be shaking its head to loosen up.
