The Dog Tail

Why Are Dogs Tails Always Waging, And What Are They For?

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.

    Spark… the name of my golden….
    He is a very obedient and fun loving dog.. i must say that my family is just incomplete without him. He is 2 years old and a very beautiful and healthy golden. I must say that all the endless efforts that my mom put in its early years are now paying back. He consider my mom his mom, my dad his dad and my sister his sister. He often gets angry when we don’t involve him in any family activity. He is just interested in all the normal and abnormal things in which we are interested..

    WHAT SPARK HATES…

    Lizards, cats and rats are the three animals he just can’t withstand in our house. As I am talking about India, these three things are the most common living beings found in any Indian house. My spark is like mad after these things and always found running after these things if comes in his sight.
    One more remarkable habit of my golden is that he knows very well to call us to show what he have seen..

    I love my spark and can’t spend a single second without him…

    Love your golden when puppy and he will return the love * 100 times when he grows up…
