You should never physically punish a dog -- ever -- with your hand or any part of the body. You have to do with vocal intonation and you have to catch them in the act or it means nothing. Be consistent. Try something loud like the old coins in a soda can thing to be the 'no'. But do not hit or hurt your dog as punishment.
I don't know that I agree with those tactics. I wouldn't want that done to my dog anymore than I would for my child. I do know that the face offs have to go to the human.
