Why Does My Dog Wag His Tail When I Say His Name. Its a fun pleasing time for them. A dog that is tentative about meeting a new person or another dog may wag his tail ever so slightly to indicate that he is insecure. Just like us they experience what is called Rapid Eye Movement REM during their deepest stages of sleep. A dog that wags its tail is excited and maybe happy but a dog who sees you and does not wag it means is happy to see you.
If he feels very welcoming safe and confident it may wag in broad sweeping strokes. My dog Clara has a particular wag when she is anxious. It he feels more cautious like when he is happily meeting another dog but not yet sure. A dog that wags its tail is excited and maybe happy but a dog who sees you and does not wag it means is happy to see you. A slow wag could mean that a dog is. Content dogs frequently wag their tails in circular wide motions.
A dog who is excited may wag his tail stiffly while jumping spinning or sticking his rump in the air.
Dogs recognize their name and the tone of voice used to say it. A dog that is tentative about meeting a new person or another dog may wag his tail ever so slightly to indicate that he is insecure. I always thought that tail wagging was a sign of good humor in a dog but my schnauzers tail wags dont seem to be a reliable indicator of his mood. The cutie is delighted to see you and is expressing it in the most sincere – and adorably canine – manner. When he greets me at the door he wags his tail enthusiastically and theres no doubt that hes pleased to see me but sometimes when I pet him in his basket although hes wagging his. That means your dog is happy.
