Are your aware that hitting is the least effective way to correct, and creates a dog that is more likely to bite a stranger or child when in a stressful or fearful situation

Gently holding your dogs muzzle so he is faced to look at you while you look him directly in the eye and scold him sternly ( not screaming or raising your voice shouting ) will have a far more impact in letting the dog you are dissapointed than striking them.

Your hands should be used to praise, comfort and provide pleasure when they learn only that they have less fear or worry about another person touching them and won't feel threatened someone swing an torward them, for example a newspaper boy handing you a newspaper or has worry if a toddler goes to hug the dog. For dogs that have learn hands or swing arms can cause pain there is a greater chance that they will react defensively and potentially bite someone just because of how they view the arm movement.
