Yes. Like all animals, if you move any part of your body for a while if burns calories. Although I'd guess that dogs do not burn a significant amount of calories wagging their tail compared to going for a walk.

What does a dog with its tail?

Well they use it to wag it back and forth. Also dogs use their tail to show the people arround them how they are feeling. If the tail is wagging in a quick motion back and forth the dog is happy. When the dogs tail is between their legs it means they are scared or afraid.
