Why Does A Dog Wag Its Tail In A Circle. I love to see circle wags because they tend to indicate such friendly happy dogs. When dogs are left alone at home their tails wont be wagging as there isnt any stimulus with which to engage. The dogs tail works like an antenna as it shows what they are feeling at that moment too and attunes dogs to their surroundings. Although it would be awesome if our pets could speak to us in our native tongues its not a realistic expectation but they still need to communicate with us in some way.
Circle wags appear to be done by dogs who are extremely happy. Or the dogs tail may be held high and moving back and forth narrowly but rapidly. A simple wag looks like the dogs tail moving on back and forth which is the point where a circular tail wag initiate. A relaxed tail with a circular or enthusiastic wag shows the dog is feeling friendly and playful. A slow wag could mean that a dog is. A slow controlled wag along with a tense body is not a welcome signal.
A tail wag may range from very slow to extremely rapid known as flagging.
Most often a dog will wag their tail in a circle if they are particularly overjoyed to see someone special especially someone they havent seen recently. Dogs wag their tails in their sleep because they are in a state of deep sleep. At the very basic level a dog wagging its tail is demonstrating a sign that they are engaged. Puppies dont always wag their tails straight away. Heres my belief about its meaning and thats all it is a belief. Most often a dog will wag their tail in a circle if they are particularly overjoyed to see someone special especially someone they havent seen recently.
