Snapping when excited

I'm not sure if this is normal or should be a concern.

When Binx, akita shepherd mix, gets excited she snaps her mouth in the air. It's not near anyone, and she doesn't do it if anyone is close, but I'm not sure what to make of it.

Is that normal?

Is it bad?

How do I stop her from doing it?

This is quite normal. It can be problematic if other people or dogs find it frightening, if she is over excited and so not really in control of herself, or if it progresses to more aggresive behaviour.

When does she do it?
