| This is her "happy tail" during poodle play |
|

 |
| This is her acceleration tail, slightly lowered for balance as she gathers speed |
|
|
 |
| This is the "brake tail". A ball rolled into her path as she was running.The tail goes up and forward as she stops. |
|
|
 |
| This is the prepare to turn tail. She's running at me but knows she needs to veer off. Her tail is already leaning to the direction she will go. |
|
|
 |
| The tight turn tail. It's up for braking, but in the process of going to her other side as she decides to turn. |
|
|
 |
| Her flying tail as she comes in for a landing on the way to see great grandma. She has 15 feet before the brake tail is needed. |
|
|
 |
| Here she uses the soft brake tail, as she glides to a stop. |
