Meaning -
This proverb creator must have observed the behaviour of dogs closely !
It states that if a dog is holding its tail upright, then we must not go near of it.
Even I observed that if a dog is walking freely on the road without giving trouble to anyone ( not even to other dogs or cats ) , then its tail will be between its hind legs.
But if dog is agitated for some reason, then it holds its tail upright . This will give the indication that at any moment dog can attack and to be careful.
If anyone has doubt, they can check. I am not responsible for the consequences !
