Its a metaphor that means something is controlling your life other than your brain. Ordinarily, a dog will wag HIS tail when he is happy, hang it low when he is sad or in trouble or hold it high when he is confident. Figuritively speaking, if the tail is wagging the dog then it is controlling him..not the other way around.
