stange behavior

I have a mixed dog that will follow me around the house and at times will chatter his teeth and foam at the mouth. If I show him any attention while he is doing this, it gets worse.

Well, this is weird! I am sorry you had to wait so long for a reply.

I don't know what this is all about. All I can think of is he is looking for some attention, and the chattering of teeth/foaming at the mouth could be reinforced by any attention he might receive whilst doing this (sounds strange I know, but if it happened once, and he got attention, then it could set up a pattern of repeat behaviour)

However, there might be some physical reason why this is happening. I would ask your vet about this.
