Doodles and Tail Wagging
What if “a wagging tail” confirms a dog’s high energy?
What if a dog’s “high energy” is a bad thing?
What if their high energies bring behavior problems?
What about Nature’s wild animals all having high energy levels?
Wagging Tails?
A wagging tail isn’t a “happy” dog—it points to one that’s landed in a high energy range, a wild dog. That’s NOT what’s best for any dog—low, relaxed energy is what’s needed.
What’s better than a tail wagging dog?
- A relaxed
- voluntarily submissive dog.
That tail wagging dog is Nature stating—through the dog’s tail wagging—that its energy level has gotten to a point where it’s become too high. High energy dogs never sleep—they doze, similar to how penguins get 10,000 micronaps every day.
You always want a relaxed, voluntarily submissive dog with a cold, wet nose and relaxed, open mouth breathing. Not “panting,” (which comes from exercise, exertion, or stress) but relaxed, open mouth breathing, 75-85% of its waking hours. Once you have them there, keep them there.
