One of the common ways your dog will try to say sorry is by making “puppy eyes” or tucking its tail between its legs. Avoiding eye contact and lowering their ears are also common ways for dogs to apologize. They also watch for your reaction. Other ways your dog might say sorry are: Hiding in a corner, Stops wagging its tail, Nuzzling or kicking you, Curling against your toes, Droopy ears. Usually though, dogs tend to simply walk away after a fight with another dog. After a while, they may reconcile, with the offending dog expressing regret through body language. Studies show that dogs express apologetic gestures because of the reaction they get from you. They typically act based on your reaction to their actions.
