yes absolutely! the reason they yelp when their tail does get stepped on is because to them, it would feel like someone stomping on our hand! if you have been stepping on your dogs tail, please stop causing it unnecessary pain.

well, it depends on what type of dog you have and how heavy you are. Most of the time it will rear up and snap at you, but if you are heavy, you could crush your dogs tail and badly hurt it.
