The fact of the matter is that the majority of our actions and thoughts are on autopilot. This is not necessarily a bad thing either. A certain level of self-awareness is needed to keep us aware of our own inner thoughts and actions. In other words, we have to keep our minds quiet so we don’t have to think about things we don’t want to think about.
The problem is when we’re on autopilot for so long that we forget we’re on autopilot. Because when we’re not even aware of our own habits, routines, impulses, and reactions, then we no longer control them. Whereas a person with self-awareness is able to exercise a little meta-cognition and say, “Hmm… every time my sister calls me and asks for money, I end up drinking a lot of vodkas.
We’re not sure if dog shaking is actually a bad thing but its certainly not the way to go. I mean if anything it will make you feel better about the fact that you’re not able to control yourself.

That is exactly what happens with dogs. They don’t think about anything other than how much they love their beloved mutt. If we don’t give them the chance to do that, then they won’t do it.

Dogs often seem to have an uncanny ability to shake their heads and wag their tails when they’re sleeping. This is because most dogs are “thinking animals,” that is, they have no conscious memories of their own. They just know what’s going on and react accordingly. In other words, their brains are hardwired to respond to stimuli by shaking their heads and wagging their tails.
It’s not that dogs are always shaking their heads and wagging their tails. Some are just in the habit of doing it. It’s something that can be taught, it’s not necessarily innate in dogs. The best example of this is the behavior of our domestic cat. We don’t know why our cat does it, but it does seem to be the result of some sort of learning from her parents.
You can tell a lot about a dog’s personality by looking at its reaction to a certain stimulus. For instance, if a dog is a cat, its tail wagging is a sign that it is trying to signal to cat that its a good boy.
