Why Do Dogs Wag Their Tail When They Lay Down. The common belief that dogs only wag their tail when happy is actually wrong. Which is why some dogs put their tails between their legs when anxious it helps reduce the scents being dispersed by their tails. Theyre not vocal or expressive like dogs. If a dog is allowing their tail to swish from one direction to the next unburdened by any sense of caution itll be because theyre in a great mood and dont care who knows it.
Suddenly without warning or explanation at least in the minds of us two-leggers he starts growling. The tail may be down due to some muscle injury. It would be difficult to turn around and check for it. So yeah your dog is also sending their butt scents everywhere then they wag their tails. A tail wag which just involves the tip with the tail high above the back or less than 90 degrees from the back indicates high arousal. Its just easier to wag and feel it.
Your dog is probably just checking if she still has her tail.

A tail lowered and between the legs could indicate fear anxiety or submission. This is doggy body language for. Another theory is that the dog isnt trying to get a scent on them but to put their scent on the ground.
