I just watched It's Me Or The Dog USA and Victoria mentioned that a wagging tail, especially a rapid movement, doesn't always indicate a happy dog. It can also mean that the dog is aroused. Now I'm choosing to use the ready for action interpretation of the word but you can make up your own mind.
I now understand his reaction at the vets earlier today. Also explains those dogs with super fast wagging tails that look like they want to attack. You know, those dogs that come running up, stop dead inches away and stand there with their tales wagging a mile a minute. I thought I was being overly cautious and a killjoy by not letting Benji off the lead to play but I am now glad that I didn't succumb.
