There are all different levels of spanking. Spanking CAN be abusive. It's also possible to abuse your child without laying a finger on them. It's contextual.
Spanking should not be your primary means of communication with your child. If we are going to compare Cesar's methods with spanking, this is where I have an objection. I saw several cases where the owners had made no attempts to learn how to train their dogs, or to convey their wishes in way the dog could understand. It's like if you never said a word to a child about washing their dishes, and then suddenly started spanking them every time they failed to do so.
