my dog does the same thing; but it is nothing bad about it just there way to say play with me!!!!

where do you live?

It's also because she was never brought up socializing as a pup since I got her from the shelter. I've tried with my older brother and father but they would make it worse and seem like she needs protection from other dogs and make her behavior worse so I stopped going. I was going to go alone at the time, but I mean… I was 16 then and now I'm 17? Kind of scary xD but it is my dog and she does need the exercise so I started bringing her again this year. Sadly I can't get another dog since my mother is allergic to animals so I'm lucky I even got my dog in the first place and I don't have friends here since they all moved xD even if they were still here they didn't have any dogs :/ ugh…

My Shiba gets stressed when things do not go according to his routine. For example, he fusses when my partner comes home from work later than usual. He will go to sit by the door leading to the garage and wait for the sound of the car.

However, the only time I have noticed his tail losing its curl is when he comes home from the vet, after being sedated. I think he feels more vulnerable, not very comfortable, and not himself.

When in doubt, I always give my vet a call and see what they say.

Yesterday my Max, 9 year old Shiba, dropped his tail (lost the curl) and it has not come up now for over 24 hours. I can’t figure out any injury, I have done all of his favorite things and he continues to enjoy them (played with chase toys, favorite treats, taken him to his favorite places). He eats, drinks, acts well in all situations. My husband Iwho he bonds with the most) has been gone for 4 days. Could this be a sign of sadness that he is gone, despite his pleasure with all the other things that I do with him?

My pup does the same thing! I hope its nothing bad :(.

I haven’t seen Sephy do anything like that before, but I usually manage him very closely during greetings. I set up clear dog-to-dog interaction rules for Sephy, so he knows what are acceptable social behaviors and what are not. In this way, I control the greeting, set Sephy up for success, and make sure he does not practice undesirable behaviors.

In the woods for a walk we sometimes meet some dogs. they can be big or small, male or female, so I don’t exactly know which dogs she’s looking for, but she sniffs a butt then takes a little bite. Nothing deep, but enough so the other dogs starts a fight.

Have you ever heard of that situation?

Cheers.
