When the question is negative, the tag is positive.
She hasn't got a dog, has she?
She has got a dog, hasn't she?
Does that help? :?

Occasionally, you can use a question tag either as a negative (with "not") or a positive (without "not"). However, the statement means different things depending on which is used. For example, "You have a question, do you?" would most likely be a sort of challenge. "You have a question, don't you?" is a more conciliatory type statement.
