Dogs are more attached to people, but, like cats, they can become offended if they are punished unfairly or offended by accident.
It is recommended to approach education with the utmost care. It is useless to punish pets for something that happened several hours ago.
Experts have explained when you should ask your dog for forgiveness and how to do it correctly, and at the same time understand that the dog is no longer offended.
What to ask forgiveness for
Don't ignore it if you accidentally push a dog or step on its paw. The dog won't take revenge, but it can definitely get offended.
How to do it
Of course, dogs don't understand a word of what is said to them (except for commands), but they react sharply to intonation.
You can make amends by petting the dog, saying something in a kind voice, and certainly giving it a treat or a new toy.
How to punish so that he doesn't get offended
To prevent your pet from being offended in vain, you need to scold and punish him according to his merits, that is, when he is caught in the act of misbehavior.
The dog is sensitive to intonation, timbre, mood. In this case, the pet should understand everything and not be offended by the owner.
No longer offended
A wagging tail indicates that the dog does not hold a grudge against a person. But if the tail is tucked between its legs, then this is more likely a sign of ingratiation or depression.
The dog may also start to rejoice if he notices that he is going to be taken for a walk, but if he is still offended, he will reluctantly go for a walk.
It is believed that when a dog forgives, it looks away, lowers its eyes or closes its eyelids. However, an animal can look its owner straight in the eyes when it feels threatened.
