My dog shook after I yelled. Did I scar him or hurt his ears?

Question

I argued with my partner tonight and I screamed quite loud. After I shouted I noticed that my dog was shaking. He was obviously scared but I’m worried that in the moment I hurt his ears. I feel so guilty and hated seeing him so upset, he was shaking for about 2 minutes straight and buried his head in my lap. He was afraid but also comforting me, he followed me around the house sticking to my leg for about 15 minutes. Is it possible that I’ve emotionally scarred him forever?

Hello. No, I really do not think you have done any harm to Charlie Brown at all. Dogs are brave, sensitive & very smart. He knew something was wrong & you were upset, but his job was to stick by your side & comfort you ( & find comfort ) the best way he could. He will be fine. Do not worry. You have a very loving & smart dog. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
