Why does my dog hide its tail in between his legs??

Question

I just got him like about a week ago and he trembles and hides his tail between his legs...

Answer 1

He is scared

Answer 2

If he's a puppy and he's come to you straight from his mother, he may be feeling insecure. Puppies are used to being with thier family constantly. Some ways to make him feel more comfortable are: give him a coat (Some dogs feel more secure when they are 'wrapped up'.) and to put a ticking clock near him when he sleeps (It imitates the sound of a heartbeat.). Hope that helps.  

Answer 3

He is scared, afraid.

Take him to a behavior specialist to help him overcome the fear.
