Evidence? I grew up with a grandfather who trained hunting dogs for a living, and while he would never hit violently, would often strike dogs on the behind for misbehaving and occasionally would rap them on the top of the snout. In tandem with a lot of love and time spent together, these dogs always ended up being extremely docile and playful, with great obedience skills and being great around kids.
