Why a Dog Raises Its Paws
You can tell when your dog raises his or her paws because they want something from you or because they want to play. This is a behavior that is mostly seen in puppies and younger dogs.
A puppy will raise its paws to touch its mother when it wants to eat. If your puppy does this to you, it could be a sign that they want to be loved and cared for.

Their Tails Say as Much as Their Eyes
Wagging a dog’s tail is a sign of extreme happiness and excitement, as you probably already know. However, if they wag their tail while hanging it down, it can be interpreted as a sign of submission.
It could also indicate that they are perplexed, sad, or ill. When they wag their tail high, it indicates that they are eager to play and alert. Their tail is almost as expressive as their eyes.
