The possessive form is the possessive adjective (a pronoun) its.
The possessive adjective is describing the dog's tail as the tail belonging to it: its tail.
The dog wagged its tail.
A possessive noun shows ownership or possession of something in a sentence. It is formed by adding an apostrophe and the letter "s" ('s) to a singular noun, or just an apostrophe (') to a plural noun that already ends in "s". For example, in the sentence "The dog's tail wagged," "dog's" is a possessive noun indicating that the tail belongs to the dog.
The dog chased its tail.(Unlike other possessives, the word has no apostrophe. The version that does, it's, is ONLY used as a contraction for the term it is.)
One example sentence using "its" is: "The dog wagged its tail happily."
