You really do come from a different planet don't you?? Kids are different to dogs completely you cannot compare teaching dogs to kids.
And both kids and dogs raised PROPERLY would NOT need a hand raised to them ATALL for teaching them.
You should not own dogs if you think that training a dog to heel you should slap it to tell it 'no' rather than being nice and using treats, you are trying to make a shortcut, and not in a nice way. Training to heel with treats does NOT take months and months if you do it Properly! It took me a week to train a 12 stone rotti who had never been lead walked before.
It does not matter how lightly you slap a dog, its still hitting it whether its to get attention or what, but you are using the slap as a correction, and we all know that dogs learn much faster with redirection! Stop giving out advice on how to bully a dog into doing what you want.
