    Explanation
    Dogs use their tails to communicate with others. They wag their tails when they are happy or excited, and they tuck their tails between their legs when they are scared or submissive. While certain breeds also use their tails for balance when running and as rudders when swimming, the main function of a dog's tail is to convey their emotions and intentions to other dogs and humans. Therefore, active dogs with docked tails may have a harder time expressing themselves and may be at a disadvantage compared to dogs with their natural tails.
