Tail Wagging

We often think of a dog’s wagging tail as a sign of happiness, but that’s only part of the truth. A dog’s tail communicates many different emotions, including happiness, fear, tension or even an imminent attack. Generally, the looser and more relaxed your dog’s tail is, the more relaxed she is. When your dog is happy, she’ll wag her tail with her whole butt and her tail will sweep bag and forth in a friendly way, or even in circles.
