What’s a dogs tail for anyway. It’s main purpose is for balance and to help change direction quickly when running. Yes they actually use it for balance when walking, especially in narrow places like a narrow hallway.

Why does your dog wag their tail. Well dog psychologists have spent countless hours studying puppies and larger dogs, trying to figure this out.

They have come up with a lot of theories, but nothing they can say for sure.

I also don’t have the technical answer, but I think any dog owner knows that a dog wags its tail when it is happy.

That can be because its master has come home, or a visitor has arrived, or dinner is served.

I know what my extensive research has shown. It doesn’t take much to get a Golden Retrievers tail wagging.
