You right it does show their confidence level. I saw a show of The Dog Whisperer, and he was working with an extremely shy and unconfident dog, who would never raise his tail. Cesar made a little gadget that held the tail up when the dog went for walk; it was really amazing to watch the transformation using this and a few behavior techniques. After a while, the dog walked naturally with his tail up, in a new and confident manner, and quit cowering when he saw a stranger. |
