When dogs tuck their tails between their legs it's normally when they are fearful of something or someone and the dog is lacking in confidence.

The dogs back will most probably be arched, and his bum and head will be lowered, his tail will be down (although not tucked right under his body). He's looking at the things that are scaring him.

Why do dogs tuck in their tails?

A dog which keeps its tail high in the air while wagging it may be aggressive. Many large dogs wag their tails in this fashion to indicate that they are dominant. If a dog is holding its tail up and waving only the tip, you should approach with care, watching for other signs like the position of the ears or growling. If a dog has its tail between its legs, however, it indicates submission. Frightened or nervous dogs may wag their tails stiffly between their legs. Approach this type of dog cautiously as well, since dogs can bite or snap out of fright A raised tail can also be a trait of a particular breed. Some dogs tails are curled up above their backs and are almost always in that position (Huskies for example). Other breeds have tails that hang down and hardly ever are raised.
