How Dogs Apologize to Their Humans?

- Does your dog know when you’re angry at them and do they feel remorse after destroying your couch or peeing on the carpet?
And how do dogs apologize for their wrongdoing?
Do dogs know when they have done something bad?
Dogs don’t know the morality of their right and wrong actions. For example, they don’t understand why chewing your furniture or peeing on the carpet is a bad thing.
But your dog can recognize when they have done something that displeases you.
Dogs learn through training and observation about what is and isn’t acceptable behavior.
Do dogs feel bad after they do something wrong?
While dogs feel primary emotions such as happiness and fear, there have been a number of studies that have found dogs don't experience secondary emotions such as guilt, shame or pride.
This might sound strange to you if your dog always hunches over or cowers in a corner after misbehaving. You might think that your dog is feeling guilty, but they aren’t. When your dog displays physical signs, such as avoiding eye-contact or keeping their heads down after doing something bad, it’s because your dog is upset at your reaction and wants to comfort itself with you.
This doesn’t mean that your dog feels bad for what they did. It means they want you to stop being sad or angry with them.
In one study, scientists found that dogs will react with apology behaviors when the owner expresses displeasure, no matter if they have actually done something wrong.
Do dogs apologize?
Dogs are social animals that crave harmonious relationships within the group. Being isolated or neglected is painful for them.
Although dogs don’t truly understand the concept of being sorry, they do understand when you are displeased or angry at them.
They may attempt to re-establish a connection with you, to remain in your good graces and prevent further violence
Your dog may start displaying behaviors that they know will change your reaction and get you to notice them, like by showing sad puppy-dog eyes, bowing their heads, or licking you. Their ears will be lowered or droopy. They may also climb into your lap and nuzzle you. Oftentimes, your pet will stop or reduce panting to show peaceful intentions.
Do dogs say sorry to each other?
Dogs are social animals who need each other for food, safety, warmth and all of the other benefits of group living; so it stands to reason that they tend to cooperate and try to minimize conflict.
In one study, researchers observed 177 dogs interacting with one another at a two-acre dog park over eight months to learn more about their conflicts and reconciliation. They found that both victims and aggressors tended to spend more time together after a conflict.
Do dogs actually forgive us?
Due to how short-term memory works in canines, dogs forget one-off bad events fairly quickly.
So if you accidentally step on a dog’s tail and apologize, the dog won’t hold a grudge against you. However, dogs remember abuse and repeated mistreatment for the rest of their lives. This is because dogs also have associative memories. Your dog will learn through experience that you are a threat.
How to say sorry to your dog?
Apologizing to your dog is the best way to keep your relationship strong after you’ve committed a canine offence. The important thing is to reconnect with your dog and ensure him that you’re not a threat and not angry with them.
If you have accidentally hurt your dog, soothe your dog by speaking to them gently. Lower the tone and volume of your voice and give them a little physical space.
Spending quality time, petting, and praise are the best ways to apologize to your dog.
Common mistake when scolding a dog
It is important to remember that scolding your dog long after any wrongdoing doesn’t make any sense. Dogs aren't able to associate something that has happened minutes or hours ago with the current punishment.
Instead, a timely response is key. If you catch your dog chewing on your furniture and quickly intervene, they will get the message.
Another common mistake is rubbing a dog’s nose in their feces when they have a potty accident. It used to be a common practice during house training to rub a dog’s nose in their poop when they have an accident.
Never put your pet’s nose in their excrement. By doing so, your dog will associate their feces and urine with your anger. This can lead to them eating it to avoid being scolded.
Why dogs misbehave
Dogs do not have malicious intent; When they tear up your furniture, it’s because they are generally under stress, anxiety, or perhaps even bored. Some dogs feel extremely anxious when they are left alone without their human, and they chew to relieve the stress of separation anxiety. - Домашні улюбленці та дикі тварини
When I’m suspicious my dog has done something bad, I’ll start looking around the house. She keeps her eyes locked on me from the center of the room, and I know I’m getting close to the scene of the crime when she suddenly bolts away to hide in her bed. So dogs might not feel shame, but I believe they know when you are about to see something that will make you upset.
for sure, i dont thinkthe author of this video has owned a dog
They feel fear, and they understand you are going to be angry when you discover the situation and are afraid and anxious of it happening.
Dogs are highly intelligent and they definitely feel all the same emotions as We do including shame and the dude in this video has no idea how intelligent they truly are…….
@@technologylord4017 Well the dude in the video never says it's their opinion about dogs, he stablishes what scientists and speciallists have discovered and studied about them.
Can confirm.
When a doggie crime has been committed in my house all I need to know is who disappears when Im at the scene.
My dog is getting quite old. When she poops in the house I don’t get mad, mostly sad for her because she can’t control herself as well as before and she always looks sad herself when she sees me find her poop on the floor.
It might not be good, but I always pet her anyway and say “it’s okay, it’s not your fault”.
We’re living the same life. When he can’t help himself there’s no drama. Our little boy is old. He doesn’t do it on purpose. Humans get like it too.😢
I gave up on keeping my apartment carpet looking nice after my dog reached the point where he couldn’t control his bowels anymore either. I cleaned the best I could, but at some point you just throw your hands up in the air and accept the fact that it comes with the territory of having a beloved dog. I never made my baby feel bad about it either. Miss him terribly still, and always will.
I have lived here long enough that I am no longer responsible for keeping the carpets in nice shape anyways, but I had to laugh when I was getting an apartment inspection and my landlord wanted to recommend me a professional carpet cleaner to hire, as if this is at all salvageable.
@shugoasia29 Give her a place to go in the house Hon. Old dogs CAN learn new tricks. It may take a few weeks maybe even a few months, but she can learn to use a puppy pad in house. Even if she does learn to use the pad she may still have accidents trying to make it to the pad. These damn bodies of ours fail us all at some point, one way or another. THANK YOU for not scolding her!
Awww! That just happened with our 13 yr old German shepherd. She never poops in the house, so when she did, she seemed sad. I assured her it wasn’t her fault and she’s still the best girl on the planet

My dog displays shame before - I even discover what he's done.
dogs cant feel complex emotions like shame or guilt.
This video is a shame.

@@funnyguy397 yes they can and yes they do
I was told by my vet that the best policy for dog parents is to reward good behavior and ignore bad behavior if you do not catch them in the act. If you walk in on the aftermath and scold them, your dog doesn't really understand why you are upset with them. Only show your displeasure if they are in the middle of chewing on your sock or piddling on the floor and always reinforce good behavior with nurturing and the occasional treat as a reward.
But, that can be hard when their standing next to you next to you and potty a few seconds after you notice it, it's hard not to get angry. I've had puppies all my life and this female puppy is hardest one I've had to deal with. As, she don't potty in the house and telling me when she needed to go out, then a week or so when by and she starts potty in the house again, I'm really at my wits end.
@@mikehorrigan6106the dog isn’t responsible for telling you when to go outside…it’s your responsibility to establish a proper rhythm. You should be angry about yourself and this ridiculous behavior 🤮
@@fluseint.1303 puppies are growing so sometimes it will change when they need to go outside so sometimes its good to listen to your dog
@@linkelexander3670 it's good to teach your dog to ask to go outside when they need to. Saves so much trouble and cleaning 🤣
@@linkelexander3670 You should have a schedule for your dogs. Train your puppies or they will be naughty when they grow older. You cannot always take your dog outside whenever they want or feed them whenever they want. That will mess up your schedule and their schedule too.
Unless corrected immediately, dogs have no idea why you are mad
sounds like a fantastic thing to have around! ha ha
Some behaviors can be corrected after the fact by recreating the problem situation. Garbage dog comes to mind. Dress them up in the garbage. Drag them to the garbage bin. Russle the garbage bag while slapping the dog on the rump. Etc...... I've seen it work and employed the technique myself. Also works with other situations as well.
@@rickdoliwa7469 you mean rubbing their noses in their siht
So the guy says they learn from observation. The dog observes me seeing pee on the floor. That’s the only thing that gets that reaction. So yeah, just like observing you say ‘down’ or point the get a treat. I’m amazed that ‘experts’ think that dogs only learn by getting treats
true
You're wrong. My old Labrador would do the I'm guilty thing before I knew he'd done anything and I was giving him the usual happy greeting. No way he was reacting to what I was doing, he knew he had misbehaved.
yes, they know they have misbehaved, but they dont feel guilt about it. That makes it WORSE. They will do it again if they get a chance. They know they are not supposed to, but they will do it anyway. They dont care. They have the mind of a sociopath.

Briefly, I thought you had two female human children peeing on your carpet. 😂
Ever thought about walking them more often, if you love them sooo much?

My late Chihuahua J.E.B. would apologize if he got too rough in his play. He would stop right at that point and lick me, then cuddle up with me. Then after an appropriate time 15 or ,20 minutes and ask for a chest scratch to be sure I wasn't mad

I have a 1yr old husky, who was threatened by a loose pitbull. I got in the way to protect my dog, and my own dog bit me on my right hand (in distress), which left nasty gashes and required stitches; He was unharmed. It affected my relationship with him greatly as I was so upset at the situation and the pain I endured that I neglected him for 2 days. He was visibly depressed as I ignored his advances to engage with me to play or interact. He would just lay down in a corner, looking at me with sad eyes, hoping I would pet or play with him. I was also feeling bad, and the 3rd day, I made eye contact with him and he approached me gently, rubbing his head against my wounded hand (which was wrapped in gauze) and I felt he was saying sorry. He had never done that gesture before. When I finally pet his head, it's like he knew I forgave him and he opened his mouth in joy, promptly running to get his favorite toy for me to play with him again. Dogs do feel and somewhat understand how we feel, this was a great video to explain that.
I accidentally stepped on my guy's paw man did he let me hear it 😂. His bark to me was like, hey!! Watch it man!! After a few sorries and rubs and a treat he understood right a way that I didn't mean it. How? By wagging his tail fast and perking back up.
Since we do not fully understand the human brain yet I’m confident the same can be said for a dog. One of my dog definitely displays guilt / remorse when “she” gets angry and then sees she overacted even if we stay calm. She “apologizes” by coming up to faceplant and give / get a kiss.
This video is so wrong in so many ways. Dogs have a stunning level of conciseness. They are not simply reacting to the bad mood of their owner. They know exactly when they did wrong.
Found this very helpful. 8 month female German Shepperd. And she does recognize my tone when speaking. I'll never hit her, but when lecturing her, if I inadvertently raise a hand, she cowers, and the big suck that I am. I stop the discipline, I have no clue what she has been through with previous owners. But she is very loving, and almost overly protective.
They’ll shake that off, they’re just like a kid, when you’re yelling and waving your arms they think you’ll spank them. Don’t let up on the discipline,your dog has to understand where your boundaries are
@@olympusthedarkone83 kids only think that if they've been abused
I had this dog years ago that would run to the floor length mirror and sit and look at himself every time after a bath/brushing. There is a lot of contradiction in the dog psychology world. I guess my point is, dogs are like humans, some are smarter than others
I agree.
@Chxrry That is my point, dogs are like humans, all different. My 2 current dogs like to jump on the bed and look at themselves in the dresser mirror, they know it is "them" because as i sneak up behind them the spin around to greet me. Now, some dog "experts" say dogs are not self-aware, did they ask them? Or just observe their actions, formulate an opinion not taking into effect the training or raising of that dog. Take all this internet stuff with a grain of salt,
@Evasedits One day a mirror was leaning against a wall on the floor instead on the dresser. Our dachshund had never seen a mirror. He faced it and stood maybe a couple feet away and looked at it. He didn't bark or growl, probably wondering why there was no odor coming from this strange dog. Instead of facing it, at one point, he stood with his side towards the mirror. It was like he was looking at this other dog out of the corner of his eye. He didn't know what to make of it.
@@Brutalgruve That doesn't prove your dogs are self aware... They've learnt when they see you in the mirror when on the bed, you're over there, so they look over there and see you. They'll be able to notice your smell in the air when they concentrate on it after seeing you in the mirror to know where you are as well. They will know your smell very well.
@@Krytern Ah the arrogance of Humans, sorry but you are wrong. Please do not reply, this is pointless
2:51 - those sad puppy-dog eyes are just irresistable.
I love that this video started out as dogs apologizing to humans, and ended up with the human reconciling with the dog :)
They may not know pride or shame or other secondary emotions but you sure wouldn't know it sometimes. My pittie actually prances when he manages to piss off the neighborhood during a walk by doing nothing. He knows he baited all of those dogs behind all of those fences and he looks like he won a goddamn award for doing it. Tail up, light step, head held high. Funniest thing ever.
I had a dog who I truly believe was the best ball fetching dog who ever walked the planet. If you put him in competition with another dog, he easily got the ball first, but instead of bringing it straight back as usual, he would run over to the other dog and rub the ball in its face
@@zer0dahero Arrogant much? Reading comprehension much? I know he doesn't really feel pride, you puffed up cunt. That's why I said it how I did. I actually did my research when I got my dog.

We had a dachshund when I was young and one time when he was a puppy he got a bit excited when we were playing and he bit me on the face. I scolded him and went to my room. I went to my room and I was miserable for a half hour. Finally, I went to him and pet him and said "It's okay, it's okay!". He licked me on the face where he had bit me and we became best buds. We NEVER had any problems with him biting someone which if you know dachshunds, they can be pretty nippy. He was a great dog!!
Ignore bad behaviour . Encourage and reward good behaviour. Works every time
Well, it’s a good idea but there are exceptions. Our dog has been eating poo on tours, also questionable food she finds. She is never an aggressive dog (and we have trained her in “drop it” commands which she does except if it is found poo or food) and the problem is for her health we need to get it from her. She growls fiercely, and actually snaps when we try to it out of her mouth. We try to be observant and stop her from getting it in the first place, but she is learning to be sneaky and not give signs just before. Obviously, this is unacceptable behavior. She even but me once, luckily was winter and I had gloves on. But it’s like she becomes a totally different animal. She has never known want, or been out on the streets or mistreated. We are at a loss. Last time she did react less aggressively, but it’s a tough problem.
Rescued my dog from an abusive home when he was a little over a year old. He ate my socks...whole. They came back out a day or two later...whole. Lasted for 3-4 years before he stopped. Between myself and three different vets, we never did figure out why. He's still with me now, 12 years old but still as playful and energetic as a young pup.
Wtf! How did he not DIE from doing that?!
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 I have no idea...I stayed terrified that something would get tied and/or twisted up inside of him, but they always passed right through him.
do you wear that socks again ?
@@m3rl1on obviously not, lol.
I probably COULD have, but no.
not true, dogs do feel shame and guilt.

'Dogs don't feel pride.'
Disagree about that. My German short hair pointer was always VERY proud of herself every time she caught a squirrel.
Thats only your interpretation of his action.
@@udtojanpestillos2094 No. My dog is also proud of himself if he does something clever. For 50 years scientists said dogs didn't have emotions. Suddenly they now all agree they do. What they really mean is they can't prouve dogs feel proud !
@@poucine832 Ofcourse dogs have emotions. But not something like shame or pride. Shame is something what only can feel human beings. In the world of nature, there is no "shame". No animal in the world feels an emotion like shame. Only human's have that kind of emotion.
@@udtojanpestillos2094 I agree dogs don't feel shame. But they can feel bad about something and they will bow their heads and look guilty. But they certainly can feel pride and know when they have been clever 😊
@@udtojanpestillos2094 How can you speak with such conviction on this. You should say with current understanding we believe they don't feel it. We can only monitor brainwaves, chemical levels and stuff, perhaps we are very wrong. I agree with you but to speak as if we know without a doubt on these things only encourages ignorance.
My dog will show that she did something wrong when I get home before I even know she did anything. So she is obviously NOT responding to how I'm acting.
Just love these amaxing creatures. The reward will be yours.
Thank you for the information
As someone who is blind I step on my dogs all the time, it makes me feel so horrible when it happens especially if they yelp and I know I hurt them. I hate it when that happens. I'm getting better at knowing where they're at and they're getting better at staying out of my way but it still bothers me when it happens. Makes me feel like I'm being mean to my dogs and I don't mean to be, I can't see where they're at, so I step on them once in awhile and it just makes me feel so bad afterwards.
How did you type this without making mistake?
@@hyperjank5129 Know right its weird
I've had dogs and have interacted with friends' dogs. If you apologize to the dog, he'll get that it was an accident and will still love you. Doesn't matter what you say - just let him know that you're sorry and that you love him.
Ahhh you are sweet!
@@Manly00 no it's not. It's not weird at all I use dictation. Or I type on the keyboard and I use a screen reader to read what you guys are saying. So no it's not weird. I'm not really offended I just think it's kind of weird that you say that this is weird. Lol. Here's a drinking game you guys count how many times I say the word weird in this posted drink every time. I bet you will all be drunk by the end of this. Lol.
Def see my dog display shame. Sometimes I just happily lift up the t shirt he’s chewed without even seeming mad and he’s already army crawling and trying to get me to forgive him
That's not shame, he doesn't want to be in trouble.
Some guy is gonna try to tell me that when my dog picks up a ball and starts prancing around the yard that hes not proud of himself...
Yes because thats accurate
Hi I love your videos and you always help me with my pets thank you 😊
EDF rv a=
U answered the same question asked slightly different, over and over again!
The first minute or so seems to be untrue. I can tell when my dog has done something I don't approve of before I even find it. He always does the same thing. He refuses to greet me and when I have discovered what it is he has done, he leaves the room. lol.
I Love Dogs Soooo Much 🥰🥰❤️
If someone yells my dog pees him self
Dogs also apologize by "sneezing", especially when the play gets a bit too rough, when they "overreact" or when they hurt you or another dog accidentally.
If you accept the apologize, just sneeze back at them (like they sneeze, with a quick outburst of air through the nose) like two or three consecutive times, and they'll understand.
If you accidentally hurt them (like stepping on them, or maybe on a rough play), sneeze two or three times at them. They will answer by sneezing back at you and resume what they were doing or inviting you to play.
Great 👍 video!!
Thanks
I think most dog owners know this is incorrect. This doesn't explain when my dog hides when i get home instead of greeting me when he has done something he knows he shouldn't like using a pillow as a chew toy. also as per the title of the video why would a dog apologize at all if they don't feel these so called "seconday emotions"
As a former dog owner this has never happened to me! We had well trained pittbulls a d Sheppards. They did steal food off the table once
Good info🇸🇪🌅
A few common things that are wrong,
If a dog runs out the door and comes back, do not scold them. Hug them, and love them, it encourages them to come back the instant they can run. If your dog does run out the door, chasing them turns it into a game. You chasing them, won't encourage them to come back, they are playing, instead call them a couple times, and run away from them. They will feel like they should chase you down. Letting them play with your shoes, and sleep on your bed gets them used to your smell, and their place to sleep, feel in a pack, and play. That helps set their instincts of where home is. If a dog pees on carpet, it might feel like grass to them, put pee soakers there, and praise them for going. If they couldn't wait and needed to go, disciplining them for needing to go isn't good. Praising them, and showing them where they went will make you feel better and they will maybe smile too.
I couldn't agree more. My dogs are house trained but if they have to poo or urinate how can I expect them to hold it ? If we have to do either of those things we can't hold it for hours so how can we expect them to.
@@alexandrakennedy8078We can want them to know, but it can be tough to understand them, and them us. They love us, and that is what we need to do our best for them.
@@alexandrakennedy8078 Same as some people say dogs can't smile. If your dog is happy to see you, climbing all over, and his eyes are beaming, that's a smile

When we got our second Dog My husky held a grudge for 9 months.
Can you blame your Husky, you're now dividing your attention between two dogs rather than your old undivided attention for the Husky, poor Husky lol.
Had a friend over and she left her dog in the house while we went to dinner.
We came back to find her dog had a little diarrhea on the floor - without any reaction, the dog displayed apology behavior so - pretty sure she knew it was bad.
What's funny is, we weren't mad because she went on an exercise mat and didn't get the carpet dirty 😅
I'm sure she only knew it was bad because your friend has scolded her in the past. She wasn't apologizing because she knows that it's inconsiderate to make a mess for you to clean up, she was apologizing because she didn't want to make your friend angry.
I don't agree. Dogs have very deep feelings and understanding.
7:00 interesting, is that why some dogs eat other dog poop if they think just seeing poop will make their owner mad so they assume it could be any poop even if it's not theirs??? Then the stressor can become an addiction?
This stuff should not be stated as Absolute FACT. There has often been studies/research on animals that debunked what was previously believed to be true of animals. Our knowledge/understanding of animals has been continuously evolving.
It should just be stated along the lines of
AS FAR AS WE NOW UNDERSTAND.
or
Studies lead scientists to BELIEVE that dogs aren't capable of secondary emotions
Nobody is an ALL-KNOWING EXPERT on animals, regardless of how many studies are done. Our understanding of them is a work in progress. Just like our understanding of any science is a work in progress.
Still better than most UA-camr apologies
Great video...
Im thankful because my dog never chewed furniture or shoes and refused to pee in the house.
Denver's face is the best when his man caught him eating the cat treats. So cute and naughty.
Lol. Eating the cat treats?!?! 😅
A doby gave me the loving apologetic look and I petted her and made instant friends with her. This dog was well trained and obedient. The girl moved to another home and I lost track of her.
Thank you for telling dog owners that dogs don't process guilt. They have no concept of right or wrong. They are just being a dog.
I adopted an adult male Doberman. He was great right from the start but my 70 year old aunt was nervous of dogs so she really put off coming to meet him. When she finally did, I net her in the driveway and told her to just go into the living room and sit down. She did, although she was nervous. But Cooper being Cooper, he immediately started trying very hard to get her to like him. Finally he gave up and just stood there with his head laying on her lap. When she realized he wasn't going to move it, she started to pet him. Now he was getting somewhere. So he started getting excited and jumping around her and she was petting him and all was good until she stopped. When she stopped petting him, he put a foot on her lap. Her hand was there and when he pulled his foot away, his toenail scratched her hand.... and it left a bit of a mark. She hollered and started rubbing her hand. He probably didn't know what he'd done but he knew she wasn't happy about it. He went into my bedroom and came out with a flashlight... and he put it on her lap. And he kept pushing it with his nose until she picked it up. And then he sat down in front of her and waited. She said, "Did he just apologize to me?" I think he did. They're both gone now, but even though she was always nervous around dogs, she always stayed friends with Cooper after that.
I've read two of those studies about secondary emotions in dogs, and I have serious issues with the conclusion that they don't experience guilt or pride, etc. The results simply indicated the dogs they observed didn't show these emotions in the situations presented in ways they expected 'guilt' to be expressed. This can be seen in humans as well, as people don't feel guilty about something unless they feel it was wrong, or don't act the way others would. My anecdotal example: I walk into my house and I can tell immediately from my dog's greeting whether he was 'good' or did something 'naughty' - like getting into the trash or whatever. There is no stimulus from me, as I didn't know what was done until later. He knew I would disapprove, and acted guilty. The argument is that it his actions were fear or whatever, but to ME, fear of disapproval is exactly what 'guilt' is. We constantly underestimate the intelligence and feelings of animals.

I heard once that if you yell at a dog when they do something, they will do that thing when you are gone because they think it will make you come back to yell at them :(
If a dog does something wrong, you have to train him immediately. Because if the dog does something wrong for example while you are at work and you come home. You ll be angry to him but the dog can not relate that you are mad at him because of what he has done will you were being away. The dog doesnt know that you are mad what happened in the past. So dont shout at him. Only when the dog does something wrong then immediately step in and train him how to do it right.
My brother's dog had some kind of stomach deal... I was at his house and got up early in the morning and he discovered she puked and pooped in her room... she was literally shaking when she knew he was finding it... she then followed me back downstairs and attempted to hide... I felt so bad for her
I’m trying to get a dog soon & watching videos like these to know what to expect!
These videos won’t show you what to expect, and will have your dog walking all over you. The dog understand more than we think they do.
Please balance it with more measures videos or, better, a training class when your pup is vaccinated,
Anyone who refers to a dog parent can teach ideas that lead to (especially with small dogs) neurosis
my bigger dog once snapped at my little dog (however my little dog always started it lol) anyways, she snapped at him and they were growling and i yelled at her, pretty bad. and she immediately put her head down and walked in to my chest like she felt bad or was ashamed. it was so cute and i felt so bad screaming at her so harshly. she just passed away a few months ago from a brain tumor and i miss her so much.
Every dog I've ever owned has had such a bond with me that they could sense my emotions without me needing to physically express them. Like when you're mad you tend to hit or break something. Well whenever any of my dogs would do something wrong,they'd immediately start to whimper while laying completely to the ground before I even did anything upon seeing me.
Don’t break things when angry perhaps
One of my dogs always looks very meek and ashamed if he pukes on the floor. He’ll go and hide behind the settee with his head bowed. I’ve never, ever scolded or got angry with him for being sick - it’s not his fault and I’m just concerned that he’s okay - and I always go straight over to console him and let him know it’s okay. Yet he reacts the same every time? 🤷♀️
(I should add that he’s doesn’t chuck up very often, and when he does it’s usually cause he’s scoffed his food down too quickly or eaten something gross outside. Also his shame/embarrassment never lasts very long; maybe a minute or two and then he’s back to his usual rambunctious self!)
It's been just over 5 years since my last doggo passed. It absolute destroyed me. But I am finally ready for another co.panion and i get to meet a pup today at the shelter for possible adoption. I think the one I chose needs me as much as I need him. I'm very emotional today as the meeting time approaches. 😵😁🥴
Hope you find the perfect doggo! Im not ready yet to get a new dog since my dog of 15 yrs passed last year but im glad to see youre ready. Must be very exciting and nerve racking!
I’m not sure we can ever know for certain that most dogs or all dogs experience this or that emotion or not. My dog seems to me to have a full range of emotions like most humans. It could be just my projection on him, just like humans do among each other. But I just smile when sweeping declarations are made about aranimals’ inner emotions when we don’t even fully understand our own. 🤷♂️

If elephants can I am sure dogs can too.
I had two big dogs that weighed about 95 pounds apiece. One day they were out in the yard and I didn't notice that it had started to rain. When I realized it was raining I got a big towel and let them in, when I finished drying Louie I went to dry Rocco and he was gone. I found Rocco lying on their end of the couch and I could tell he was upset. Rocco was the alpha dog and I should have dried him first or atleast at the same time. I sat down on the other end of the couch and reached over with the towel and rubbed his back and he growled at me. I didn't get angry at him because I knew he would never bite me, but I said, "Did you just growl at me?" He got the funniest look on his face almost as if he'd just realized that he said it out loud. He got done of the couch, came around the coffee table, climbed up into my lap, and put his head on my shoulder. I didn't show any signs of anger because I knew it was my fault. I'll always believe he was trying to tell me he was sorry for growling at me.
I disagree. My dog sometimes has an accident and will hide or go to the door with ears lowered and head down, even though i am unaware of what he did. He didnt see any reaction of mine, because there was none. Im uncertain why you give this info out?
I think dogs are different. Read an article that says don’t hug your dogs. When I get home my dog puts his face between my legs and lifts staring up at me through my crotch smiling and crying. The only thing that calms him down from his excitement is a hug around his neck and a couple of kisses on his nose. He loves it
Same. My dog loves being smothered with love. He will lean into hugs too.
Take what articles say with a grain of salt 🧂. Articles and videos also said that dogs don't like to be pat on the head. Some dogs allow it but don't particularly push for it while there's others that prove the article wrong by taking your hand and throwing it on the head indicating "pet me". There are times ⏲️ when I'm away for so long that when I come back, the dog 🐕 is so excited to see 👀 me that he's constantly jumping on me. The best solution is to pick him up and hold him for a moment. And when I put him down he tries to hold on indicating he's not done with the moment. He also knows that I'm away so often she he needs to get his loving while I'm there.
Pretty much, it's all in observing the animals patterns and understanding their communications and boundaries.
Nah I have to disagree. I was on a road trip with my dog and put my leftover breakfast on the dash of the car. I took a bathroom break and when I came back I was happy and didn’t notice anything at first other than my dog cowering. It was only afterwards that I realized she had eaten the leftover sausage. Im pretty sure she was expressing some form of guilt or remorse because she knew she wasn’t supposed to do this.
When I do something wrong, my dog knocks over my speakers or will jump on the couch and start digging into it.
I try to say sorry with big human baby eyes.
…..sometimes it works.
Aww!
Hello Liz how are you doing today
wrong on the guilt shame and pride. Buddy had a german shepherd, was still quite young but very big as they get..... his fave buddy was this kitten, he played too rough and accidentally bit it's head off, he stared at it, squealed ini horror, and hid himself in the closet for days whimpering and howling..... so bs on the shame and guilt thing..... my dogs showed shame and guilt as well when they knew they did something wrong.
It’s funny to watch Miska, because if she knows I’m upset she leaves the room and she goes and lays down. I’m not necessarily upset with her but if I get frustrated with myself and doing something or whatever she goes into another room and she goes and lays down it’s like she knows that there’s something going on with me..
My dog for the first time snipped at me and cut my lip. I spanked her and I can tell in her eyes she had the "oh I Fd up...I really Fd up" she also gets really emberrased if she pees on the floor because she never does it. Granted shes a rescue and lived a hard life before so I know she is aware of right and wrong based on how she reacted.
i raise the argument, i have dogs that exhibit body language that clearly communicates pride when they've won a snack or toy from a competitive situation. its an utterly smug prance.
My baby puts her head down even if I speak nicely. I don't know why or what's wrong. How can I show her it's ok
May I , please have your source titles? Be a good read/view,
When my dog has done something wrong my dog hides when I come home before I even see her, so yeah they feel shame.
From personal experience, the poop thing is wrong. Out of 3 dogs, each of them learned not to pee or poop in the house from showing them their mess and being displeased with it. Never rubbed their nose directly in it, but brought them to it and scolded. So they learned just fine from this method. No they didn't learn to eat their feces lmao, as some accidents would happen rarely...if they ate their feces then the evidence wouldn't have been there lmao.
Then why the hell will my dog act "guilty" or submissive before I've seen what they did wrong? I'll come home from work in a good mood, and try to greet my pup with love and affection, but they'll already be hiding or avoiding my gaze or hunching over.
I remember when I was a kid, our family dog ruined the window blinds while we were gone. When we got home, we couldn't find him. We searched and searched the house. We finally found him hiding... in the cabinet under the sink in the master bathroom. He actually opened up the cabinet, and got inside (without tipping anything over!)
My Séamus did🤣 He would go on a straight rampage, he knew exactly what to destroy or s*** on. Diabolical
I cannot be mad at my dog for more than four minutes
Please do more
There's something so fucking arrogant about asserting that they can't feel shame. Damn. You can absolutely measure the chemical reactions. But something else is triggering that reason. We have a terrible means of measuring that part.
It is not correct to conclude dogs cannot experience guilt. It is possible they do not but the studies in question do not demonstrate that. Because even a human can react the same way and act (and feel) guilty even if they don't understand exactly what they did wrong or why it was wrong. In this case, just like a dog, a human can also be mislead into thinking they did something wrong even if it wasn't wrong.
On the other hand, we do know conclusively that dogs and wolves have an intuitive sense of justice and can understand if they are being treated unfairly or another animal is getting favoritism. So on the other end, at least dogs do feel jealousy. They may or may not also experience guilt.
This just sounds like a “logical” explanation of them actually feeling guilt lol
why'd you put "logical" in quotes? It's scientific fact. Animals don't think the same as us humans
@@archyneverpicked ok then you’re telling me they somehow mime it? Like they know how to act like it and they do that?
“Dogs don’t feel guilt.” What the fuck is guilt, then, if not the perception that another will have negative feelings towards you over something you did?
Dogs apologize to humans now? I guess mine was a lil high maintenance but she meant well.
Hello Triggered how are you doing today
…..and we always forgive them.
* woof * "its not my fault, it was the cat"
Sometimes I think that these "experts" who do these videos have never even owned a dog. Have you ever come home and found the dog exhibiting the proverbial "hang-dog look" and you're not sure why, but you know he did something that he knows is going to make you mad? We can argue all day long, without any way of knowing for sure, about how the dog's emotion compares to human feelings of guilt; but there's something there.
Good video I 😀
My dog looks deeply ashamed before I even find out she's been licking frogs. Then her mouth goes frothy. She's had a newt once too and it played dead for a while. I had to wash the dog fur off it before release.
I don't know what happened before I took on my dog, for the most part aside from being loud, we've not had problems with him.
Only once he's stolen food off of a reachable surface, he was repremanded and it's never happened again.... however, if for some reason he has been sick in the house, you would swear that we had screamed and beaten him with how withdrawn he becomes.
For context, we've never repremanded him for this since if it happens, it's when we're not around and he couldn't help it. Something must have happened with his previous owner. We clean it up and then make sure he gets cuddles and pats otherwise he'll stay like that for ages.
I mean, he's not perfect, but he's a bigger dog and the worst he does is go a bit nuts barking at the door and people coming in for the first 30 seconds. This admittedly scares people off (and has prevented a couple of break-ins), but once the person gives him attention he's happy as larry. Doesn't mess in the house, it takes the bare minimum to block him in (he doesn't barge through stuff, he'll wait and chuff at you until you clear a path) and 95% of the time he wouldn't steal food even if it was in reach.
0:11 This corgi or which breed is it, is kinda SCARING ME 💀
Dogs know …maybe not ahead of time.. but they know how you feel
I wonder how many dogs he interviewed before he came up with this hypothesis
Oh, they know. Mine knows exactly why, every time.
