Staffy tail positions and meanings!

Post by hopefulnewowner on Mon Apr 25, 2011 1:40 pm

Anyone have good knowledge on this and what do certain positions mean? Just trying to help understand Jess' moods. Obviously wagging fast is happy and tail in between legs is frieghtened, would just like an understanding of other tail positions, any links to pics and meanings would be great! Thanks in advance!

Might be interesting for you Smile


That's a good one.

Also, watch your dog and learn your own dog's various tail positions. As with humans, they're all different.

I know when Skylas tail is straight in the air it means 'stop faffing around and throw the effing stick'!

That's what I mean - when Dempsey's tail is straight in the air it means "OK, dog, I don't like you & if you come any closer I'm gonna eat you!" Big Grin
