Sometimes, dogs can get seriously scared when their owners hurt them by accident.

Respecting the dog's space, call them and let them come close when they feel like it.

If that doesn't work, you can use treats.

It appears that dogs may remember more than we realize, but they're still highly unlikely to remember if you hit them as long as you don't make a habit of it. A dog easily forgets one-off events, but they can remember intense sensations or ongoing actions through associative memory.
