Answer
You're shouldn't hit your dog. Dogs only understand their language and behavior., hitting is not in their vocabulary. They do not see that as correction, just cruelty.
Type alpha dog boot camp into your website. That'll help you establish and maintain pack order in your home, which will include respect for your dog and having your dog respect you. NEVER hit your dog as that simply makes them fear and hate you. They really don't understand the concept at all. Dogs don't hit each other. and they can only react to you as they would another dog. Where you fall in the pack order is up to you to determine.
I know that you can have a good relationship with your dog and a healthy, loving one.
Good luck
