Happy for some action? Hard to say. We had a Kai Dog and he was not the friendliest towards other dogs. However, his tail would still wag as he was trying to run over and assert himself upon whatever he set his sights on. Same with people, just because his tail was wagging did not mean he wanted anything to do with you.

Most see a dog wagging it's tail as happy. Not always true. It can also mean danger, aggression, fear. Which it is telling you depends on the rest of the dog's body language seen at the same time.

I'm not sure, my dog doesn't have a tail.
She's a Border Collie/ Aussie/ Blue tick mix master breed. Last summer I caught her chasing a coyote out of the yard hot on it's heels, and today when I was loading my atv on a trailer outside my gate she was barking like hell at the two Pyranees that live across the road. She does act way above her weight class. |

My K9 wags his tail while growling and barking right before he attacks...there is nothing friendly about his tail wagging...my guess is he is wagging his tail out of aggression/excitement/adrenaline ...he has always done this and its not subtle...

Tail wagging turns out to be pretty complicated, with the height of the tail, speed of wag, and even “right/left bias” having meaning. The type of barking also communicates a lot.
My 9 month old GSD hackles up when she’s excited about many things. Her back looks like a Mohawk during rowdy play with the boxer. |

When both my pyrenees and lab sense “danger” , their tails are up and stiff, no waging.
When pyrenees gets hackles up front to back, its a sight to see, he looks pretty badass. And being that he is 50% pyrenees and 50% Anatolian shepherd makes it intimidating. |

Waggy tail does not always mean happy tail, just like a smile doesn’t always mean someone’s happy. We have tense smiles, evil smiles, sad smiles, etc. |

Over the years, I have learned what the various tail states of my dog mean.
