Wagging language

Dogs differentiate between wagging to the left vs right

Most people know that not all wagging is happy wagging. In addition to conveying a lot of emotion by the type and height of the wagging, researchers have also learned that dogs draw a distinction between "wagging to the left" (which indicates anxiety) and "wagging to the right" (which indicates a relaxed demeanor).
