If you accidentally step on your dog or pull on their ears or tail without meaning to, the first step is not apologizing but finding out if the dog is actually hurt. If they are able to move normally and do not cry out after the initial scare, they are alright. If you want to apologize to your dog, talk to them calmly and soothingly with a slightly high-pitched voice, the one we tend to use when talking to babies or puppies. You don’t have to say “sorry”, but the words that you usually use to reward your dog when they behave correctly, such as “well done” or “good boy”. This way, the dog will understand they have done nothing wrong. Pet them and maybe play a short game together. When you have lived with a dog for a while, you notice how they are able to pick up your moods: dogs are playful when you are active and cheerful, and they notice and comfort you when you are sad because they see you as a member of their pack. If you mean well, your dog will know.

I got down to his level and pet him like crazy, giving him as much love as possible. He licked my face all over and wagged his tail a bit, as if to say, it’s okay. I felt really bad for my buddy.

Hurting your dog or leaving it alone at home all day can make it feel neglected and lonely. When this happens, it’s important to show that you’re sorry. Dogs are intelligent animals, so they’ll know you’re sincere.
Don’t shout or raise your voice
A pat on the head or back will go a long way
You can ruffle its furs or carry it in your arms
You can use soothing words or phrases
Give your dog its favorite treat
When you make your dog feel safe and comfortable, it tends to warm up to you more often.
You should also learn to respect your dog’s private space.
Showing a positive attitude and gestures will also go a long way to showing your dog that you are sorry.

If you hurt another person and want to make amends, the first and most important step is to apologise - and the same applies to your dog. Saying sorry might be important not just because of your conscience, but because pets also apologise in their own language when they cross a line. Speak to your pet in a gentle, calm voice. How you say it is more important than what you say. Go to your dog or call them to you and tell gently and kindly that you're sorry and ask for their forgiveness. If your dog appreciates physical contact, feel free to pet it. It will make the animal feel even closer to you and will help it relax. Your tone is really important so speak to your pet in a calm, gentle voice. Such actions can counteract negative events, because dogs live in the present and, unlike us, are always focused on what is happening in the moment.
