This week we’re focusing on the tail. A dog’s tail can tell us a lot, but just like every other part of body language, it should always be read in context. A loose, wagging tail that moves freely through the body often reflects a relaxed or socially open dog. A high, stiff tail can indicate arousal, confidence, or sometimes tension depending on the rest of the body. A low or tucked tail may suggest uncertainty, stress, or a desire to create space. It is also important to remember that wagging does not always mean friendliness. The speed, height, and stiffness of the wag all matter, and the dog’s overall posture is what gives the clearest picture of how they are feeling. Next week we’ll break down another part of your dog’s body to help you better understand their communication.
