Tucking Their Tail

Have you noticed your dog tucking their tail in between their legs? Dogs do this if they feel scared, nervous, guilty, ashamed, or uncertain, which means it is a sign of distress. Try to comfort your dog and make sure they feel safe if you see them tucking their tail. Try petting them, talking softly to them, or doing the doggie treat approach.

Raising Their Paws

If your dog raises a paw, they are telling you that they need something or they want to play. This behavior is common in pups and young dogs. When a puppy wants to eat, they often put out their paw for their mother. A pup doing this to you is telling you they want some affection, so go ahead and shower them with your love!
