In all my life of owning dogs, I never had a case of happy tail. That's because my dogs are trained to behave well and if they need to be boarded, they are instead watched by a pet sitter.
For those wondering, tails should be cut only at a young age. After that, most vets will refuse unless there is a medical reason. Source: How late can you dock a dog's tail? |
My dogs hunt, so they've got, oh, literally hundreds of miles of open space. And their tails can get brutally beat when excited on the hunt. That's why they are docked.
