When dogs tuck their tails between their legs it's normally when they are fearful of something or someone and the dog is lacking in confidence.

The dogs back will most probably be arched, and his bum and head will be lowered, his tail will be down (although not tucked right under his body). He's looking at the things that are scaring him.

What do dogs posture mean?

I've had six dogs, and I find that if the the dog's back is arched upwards when they are standing it means they are either bloated, sick, or about to puke. Standing straight up panting is in pleasure, (with ears up). Standing up straight with slowly wagging or not moving tail with ears up, is looking with interest (when they are curious). Tail between the legs is scared (with ears back.) Ears back while standing up straight is when they feel threatened (w/ tail up, not moving), also barking or growling is an obvious sign. Tail between the legs with ears back, and constant recoiling is feeling nervousness and scared. If a dog is laying down on its side with its stomach exposed is when they are being submissive (and/or rolling on their back).
