If a dog needs serious correction you pull it in its neck and give it a little shake for a lesser correction give i a little spank on his butt. Nothing wrong with that.
(example: you walk on the street and he pics something up like food that he isnt supposed to.. little slap on his butt and he knows he shouldnt
Example 2: he attacks another dog or walk from the street while you told him to wait:
grab him in the next and shake him a bit.. works fine).

Beating a dog or hitting/punching him anywhere else will make him unstable and chances are youll have the opposite effect.

Scared dog = unreliable dog.

So every punishment should be reasonable.. dogs seem to understand that.

Your voice should be the most powerful tool you have in raising your dog: if that doesnt have the desired effect you are not a good dog owner.
