I don't agree with what you've said. I DO believe that one hit WILL scar them forever and make them fearful whenever anyone starts to reach toward them. I've seen people who have struck their dogs before interact with their dogs and noticed that they "duck" when they see their owner's hand coming down toward them. I hope you do get things worked out, because I realize it was more of a reflex action on your part, but I believe you have self-control issues as well and that isn't a good mixture with a small dog or any other size dog.
