Hitting is just the ignorant way of trying to correct behavior in dogs. A dog that does something out of fear of reprisal will ultimately be a less happy and less cooperative dog than a dog that behaves because it wants to please.
Take some obedient classes with puppy, it will really pay off in the long run. I can't stress this enough.
If he is becoming more and more dominant, roll him over, gently put your hands on his neck to hold him in position an stare him down. Let him up when he looks away. This technique is called the dominant roll. Note that it should never be tried with large, dominant adult dogs, strange dogs or very timid dogs.
