Diane, Of course, those uses for training a tail tuck are so obvious.
Thanks for the clarification, and I'll go back to kindergarten now.

Hi Shelia,
I believe I first recommended this behavior in reference to one of the
guides tails getting pinched in a door.
Some assistance dogs have long tails and some assistance dogs wag them
in the joy of their work with their partners quiet liberally. With dogs
like Great Danes this can mean that in stores and in homes things can
get knocked down or the tail can get injured. Add to this that a dogs
tail sticking into isles, or stretched across the floor could mean
injury to the dog or some one who steps or trips on it.
It is not a frequently taught behavior. However, when I mentioned it in
my earlier post I said I would share the teaching of the behavior. So I
was trying to do so before I forgot.
Best Wishes & Wags,
Diane & Raven
