If I tell my #dogs "move your butt" and nudge them gently with my foot when they are sleeping in the middle of the kitchen floor like the ass-pains they are, they will make a huge offended production of moving.  But if I absolutely clock them in the face with a heavy booted foot while trying to step over them and say "whoops, sorry" they won't move an inch.  Usually they just open one eye for a second and go right back to sleep.

Dogs understand & are endlessly willing to accept apologies.
