Tucking Their Tail

If your dog is tucking his tail in between his legs, he might be distressed. This is what some animals do when they’re scared, ashamed, guilty, nervous, or uncertain. If your dog does this, comfort him to make sure he feels safe. Treats work well in this case.

Raising Their Paws

When a dog raises its paws, it might mean they’re looking to play or need something from you. Most puppies and young dogs display behavior in this way. When a little puppy wants to eat, it’ll put its paws out for their mother. A puppy doing the same thing to you means they want affection.
