What is wrong with a dog when it sticks its tail between its legs?

Answer 1

This could be pain, although most dogs in that much pain won't walk around very much. It is more likely to be the dog signalling submission and fear/anxiety in general. A professional dog trainer may be able to help you address this so your dog is less fearful.

Answer 2

This is usually a sign of fear and anxiety - it signals to other dogs that the dog with the tail between its legs is not being aggressive and is actively seeking a reduction in tension. There is probably nothing actually wrong with the dog, except for emotional stress.

However, some dogs in pain may also tuck their tails between their legs - if there are any other signs of pain or illness, I would suggest a visit to the veterinarian to find the underlying problem.
