If her tail is down only around your other pup maybe she's showing submission? Does her tail look unnatural when it's down? Is there any way you could take a snapshot of it? It could just be a phase of puppy hood, I'll let all the akita owners answer this one xD~

as a shiba owner, usually their tail is down when they are nervous or unsure of something. Its not always a bad thing, but when I see their tails uncurled I'm always trying to figure out why.

Ozzy is getting a sexual at the moment and is trying to hump everything in sight at the moment, we was also thinking may be it a dominance thing
