for some people, it is perfectly fine to spank children. is it similarly okay to spank your dog when punishing or training them?

I spank them but not too hard. Though they are considered domesticated creatures, they are still animals and have this natural animal instinct to bite back when it gets hurt. Be sure to hit them in the rear but massage it later on to let it know that it was not personal but for training purposes only. If that doesn't work, then get advise from pet trainers.

Everyone i have ever seen train a dog using spanking, not beating, but popping on the rear to teach the dog
