The only time we have experienced the teeth chattering thing was after major surgery on Murphy's ear. It scared me to death! I think it was the pain meds that caused her to do that because she no longer does it. Murphy is 15 years old. She has NEVER chased a ball in recent years! LOL!!!!
Maybe it's the anticipation that has Merlin chattering!

Some of my dogs do this. I have seen cats do it as well, when they are watching birds outside the window. My dogs do it when they are playing fetch ... or wanting to kill something, like a stuffed animal, a bird, a gopher, etc. I think it is a prey drive thing .... "I soooooooo want to kill that."

Lol. Gracie does that too. She does it if I ask her if she wants to go outside, she does when company comes over, she does it if she wants to play, or if she wants food. It's even funnier when you do it back to them and they look at you like your nuts.When we got Gracie they told us that it's a doberman thing, but I haven't ever seen any other dobes do it. I love it though. It cracks me up every time.

He sounds so cute!
And yes, Face does that when he is waiting for me to throw his ball, or something it is like he is getting anxious and cant wait!
Sherman, we miss you!
Rosie used to do it too, and sometimes she'd clack her teeth together when she was biting the air playing with Star! It is hilarious!
