LEFT/RIGHT
A new study finds that dogs respond to the direction of a tail wag. [source]
Canines that see tails wagging to the right are more relaxed, whereas they become more stressed when they see tails wagging to the left.
The same scientific team previously found that dogs wag their tails to the right when looking at something they want to approach, such as their owner. But they wag their tails to the left when confronted with something they want to back away from, such as another dog with an aggressive posture.
