Is my dog gagging?

My dog has recently started doing something weird. He is 11 months old. He will move his head back and forth with his mouth is closed. His head doesn't tilted all the way down like he's prepared to cough something out. While he's doing the movement he's completely silent. Sometimes it kinda looks like he's hiccuping. He does this maybe 5 times a day. Its completely random, so that means he doesn't do it after he eats or drinks. Is this gagging?

Notes: He is a soft coated wheaten terrier with long hair. I just switch his food to Wellness. We got another puppy a month ago. He drinks and eats regularly.

i would suggest a vet check. this is alittle weird and prob needs to be discussed with the vet. i doubt its gagging or choking as his mouth would be open and he would be in distress. responce to above entry = i very much doubt hypoglyceamia is the cause. this means low blood glucose and he is alittle young to have diabetic conditions at this age. see the vet for answers. speculation may make you worried.
