I remember being called vindictive last Christmas at exactly 3:17 pm 😕 Yeah, well, you don't forget those things fast😆
ALL dogs feel your mood and try our best to keep up with it. But sometimes things go wrong, and you yell at us, throw a chewed-up shoe, and swear not to get a dog ever again🥺⠀
You're human, and emotions sometimes take over😠 But your actions can hurt your pet, especially if it's regular.⠀
Can a dog forgive? Yes, if you apologize as soon as possible. Yuma's apology options, take notes👇⠀
- Ask for forgiveness. Sincerely. Anyone will recognize the lies. Scratch behind the ear and say affectionately, "I'm sorry, my sweetie pie, I won't do it again." Stroke its back, its tummy.⠀
- Take a walk together. Go to your dog's favorite park or yard. Does it like to work with you? Great. Learn a new trick, command, or repeat a fun trick you've learned.⠀
- Treat with its favorite snacks. Bully Sticks come to the rescue
- Offer a toy. Or play together. Maybe the pup likes to play with socks. Give them. Or wants to run around a bit and bite your heels? In short, organize your dog's favorite game.⠀
- Chilling on the couch. Does your fluffy friend like to lie down and watch soap operas? Then lie down and stay there—whisper, what a good boy he is.
How do you know when a dog has forgiven you? You'll notice the body signals and the general mood.⠀
Dogs are very affectionate and will never intentionally ruin a relationship with you. They are compassionate, and you can earn forgiveness 99% of the time if you make an effort and do it with sincerity.
