, the tail that was raised high in the first second, seemed to be missing in the air the next second, which is a phenomenon we often find.
The reason why dogs do this is often because they are in danger and are afraid to act like this, although this posture is not comfortable.
"Please don't smell my butt!" The dog clamped its tail between its legs, or sat down with its tail. The dog was surprised and inconsistent in these ways to prevent the approaching dog from smelling how scared it was. The smell glands never lie, and they truly convey the dog's mood.
Dogs will also use this action of sitting down with their tails in self-defense, preventing another dog from trying to climb onto its back for mating.
A cowardly and low-ranking dog or cub will show respect to the dominant dog through the action of clamping its tail. This pose clearly shows that they will never cause trouble. When the dog meets and greets, the smaller dog will hold its tail to show its submission to the larger dog.
So, as a shoveler, what should you do?
First of all, you need to figure out what causes fear and put the dog on pressure. Do your best to help it get rid of this situation and don't let it get stuck in it. For example, every time a dog sees or hears the sound of a skateboard, it will clamp its tail, so try to avoid the skateboard park when taking it for a walk. Don't speak to a scared dog in a cold tone, this will only make it more scary. Don't yell at it or force it to face something that is scared. This will seal its emotions.
When walking the dog, if you see a dog tug the leash, walking quickly in front of its owner, and walking towards you, you should switch to the other side of the street. Obviously, this is a very confident and likely dominant dog, looking for opportunities to improve himself. Avoid two dogs meeting, otherwise it will only add stress and anxiety to your dog. When you avoid this path, give the dog a prompt, such as "look at me", let it "sit" or "shake hands" - in short, make some simple requests to distract and strengthen its confidence. Be sure to reward it with some healthy food after you finish it. Only in this way can good interaction be formed and emotionally enhance!
