It looks as if he is deliberately gesturing in a desire to convey what he is trying to say. I can especially see this in the trailer where Toothless "laughs" at Hiccup's anger at the dragon drool bath. Also where Toothless is trying to convey that he is grouchy at Hiccup for saying that Toothless has to work on his gliding skills. Toothless turns his back (a lot of animals will do this as well) but then looks back at Hiccup as if to say "Are you getting the message? No? Here, let me add a Human crusty face too. How about now?" And that's when Hiccup gets the message. It's very cool.

In contrast: Toothless's reaction of delighted surprise to Valka's "Every dragon has a secret" is pure Toothless. No Human translation needed.
