Actually a dog wags their tail in different ways. If a dog keeps their tail high and wags it, they are showing a sign of dominance. The bigger dog usually does this because they think they are in control! If a dog only wags the tip of it's tail it means that it's unsure and/or nervous. The most popular type of tail wagging is when a dog wags his tail straight out, this means they are excited and happy about something.
