Origen the third century Christian apologist explains there was nothing wrong in Jesus calling the Canaanite woman a dog. Put simply the Jews commonly called gentiles dogs so this was nothing out of the ordinary. The story appears in both the Gospel of Mark chapter 7 and Gospel of Luke Chapter 15. Origen puts forward several explanations including one that Jesus had been given limited power and hence was reluctant to help gentiles in order to preserve his power to help Jews.
