I think I've read that the shaking thing is actually a way for dogs to be sure that all the "fighting" is still just in play. Conrad and Marlowe do this all the time--they'll stop playing for a second and both either shake or sneeze or yawn as a way of saying "Everything still okay?" "Yes, everything is fine. Carry on." And then they start up again.
I only had the camera for one night, and they were both feeling a little poopy I think. This play session is actually super mild and tame compared to the lather they usually work themselves up into. They're just continuing their tradition of not cooperating when there's a camera present!
