Shaking thier tales is a form of showing love an enjoyment. That is thier way of smiling at you. Letting you know they are happy to see you or that they want to play. It can also be a way of telling they are angry or afraid if the are not wagging thier tales and or it is between thier legs.

i know something u may want to do. first the animal to be used will be the dog.  when a dog sees food it salivates. The food is the uncondioned stimulus, becasue any dog wld naturally salivate when  it is presented with food. However let's say you ring a bell, the doy will not saliavte. However if everytime you ring the bell, you present the dog with food it will salivate. The dog will establish a relasionship with teh dog and the beell, and evrytime it hears the bell which is teh conditonned stimlulus it will salivatte.

dogs don't really understand you, they are just picking up on your emotions.  but they do love you unconditionally though.

This is by far one of the funniest question I ran into yet!\n\nwell when an animal goes to the bathroom(take a Sh*t) and it gets stuck in their fur (hair) and hangs(usually dried Sh*T). This is considered a dingleberry

Same way our pets understand each other, I guess?

I've read that dogs look like their owner after awhile. Or is it the other way around? \nSo, yes, two people can start to look and sound alike. But perhaps they were unconsciously looking for such traits in the first place?

Usually because they have been hurt before and when they see signs of a previous bad relationship they get doggish because they can't control your actions; feeling like you are going to play him or something!

Some dogs are alpha dogs. They are born with the natural inclination to be a leader. They have no problem confronting other dogs and fighting for what they think is rightfully theirs. At the opposite end of the spectrum, some dogs are epsilon dogs. They are the lowest in the pack. They are naturally inclined to think all the other dogs are above them and that they must have the permission of everyone else to eat, sleep drink, and in fact, they get very stressed when there isn't another dog to tell them what to do. They are  natural followers.\n\nPeople are much the same way. Unlike dogs, we may, and should sometimes, force outselves into social roles which we have no natural inclination towards. This often creates stress for us.\n\nAlpha people get stressed when they're not in control. Epsilon people get stressed when they are placed in a position of great responsability over other.\n\nYou are not naturally inclined to confront people. Even when you make a conscious effort to assert yourself, you're not naturally geared for it and it stresses you. When they are not agreeable it stresses you more. You are probably a very nice person who naturally is more geared towards seeing yourself as an equal or sub-ordinate of another person and when you see yourself as an equal and afford them something they do not reciprocate, it offends you. That is also why you shake.\n\nNow here's the solution. Keep asserting yourself when you feel someone is trying to take advantage of you. You can be polite and still let people know you are not one to be taken advantage of. If you don't stand up for yourself, you're right, you will be treated like a door mat.

Depends on how still the dog is. If it's a puppy then you are  probably doing some work.
