Dogs possess the ability to raise the fur along their spine and at the top of their withers, giving the appearance of a ridge. This is similar to when we get goosebumps, except that Dogs do not do this because they are cold. When a Dog raises its hackles it is usually a display of dominance, uncertainty, excitement or fear. Dogs may do this to appear bigger and try to assert dominance over another Dog.
