Contrary to popular belief, a dog's wagging tail is not always a sign of friendliness.
In fact, a dog's tail is a "transmitter" of a whole range of emotions.
We'll tell you how to determine what a dog is feeling by the way it wags its tail.
Why does a dog wag its tail?
Dogs do use their tails to communicate, but wagging doesn't always mean your pet is happy about something.
According to research, if a dog wags its tail to the right, it experiences positive emotions, and if it wags its tail to the left, it experiences negative emotions.
If a dog stretches its tail so that it becomes an extension of its body, this means that it is interested in something and is curious.
A wagging tail with the tail down means that the dog is nervous. It also indicates that the dog recognizes the superiority of the owner.
If a dog has its tail between its legs, it is experiencing great fear.
If the tail is in a vertical position, the dog is engrossed and excited about something.
Also, this tail position may indicate the dog's readiness to show aggression.
