Dogs’ tails express emotions

Generally speaking, an upright tail indicates strong dominance, aggression and vigilance. On the contrary, a lowered tail or sandwiched between the two hind legs indicates submission and fear. , and lowering the buttocks and half-bending the hind legs at the same time expresses extreme uneasiness and fear.

Dogs wagging their tails are not just happy

Dogs licking their tails means they are happy. This statement is not very accurate. Sometimes the dog's vigorous left and right circular motions and vigorous stroking of the tail means: Don't come close to me. If it is staring at a target, slowly wagging its tail is a warning signal. So don’t think that if a strange dog licks its tail at you, it means it likes you. Acting rashly will make the dog feel scared and may do something to hurt you.

A dog's tail wagging requires careful observation

To truly understand what your dog is saying, you need to explore, study and summarize it step by step. You can't arbitrarily judge the emotion of an action just from one part of it. You need to combine different parts of movement, expression, eyes and voice. Over time, you will develop a method of communicating with your dog. Effective communication will make you understand and trust each other more.
