The tail is a very important part of the body for dogs. With her, can convey to others how they feel at all times, so that by observing their movement we can know how our friends are.
Let us know why are they wagging their tail these amazing animals.
Why do they do it?
As soon as we get home, the dog approaches us moving its tail quickly from one side to the other while looking at us with that tender and sweet look that expresses joy at seeing us. Although we cannot be fooled: they not only wag their tails when they are very happy, they also do it when they are afraid or angry. But why are they wagging their tails? The answer is still not entirely clear. Although it is known that with it they express feelings and emotions, originally the tail it only served to give them balance, whether it was walking, running or swimming.
However, these movements could help dogs release pheromones through the glands of the anus, which can have reproductive purposes or serve to mark the territory. In this way, they can also orient themselves thanks to their sense of smell.
Do all dogs wag their tails?
All. The queue is very necessary for them to communicate with each other, and also with us. For this reason, when they cut them, they are causing them a significant problem, since if they want others to know how you feel, they will be able to do it only with your face, something they will not do because in their mind they continue to have your tail.
Evolution wanted them to have. Cutting it for aesthetic purposes is going unnatural. So, if you have a pit bull, a boxer or any other breed dog whose tail is normally shortened, my advice is to leave it to him. He needs it as much as you need your hands.
