I will admit that I have a hard time welcoming you to a forum of people who really love these little dogs and want to treat them like gold. The only glimmer of hope is that you can be taught by the loving owners here.
Corporal punishment is never needed on a small dog. Frankly, as one of the male members on this board I am appalled that you would ever think of it as acceptable. It speaks to your character as well. If I was your girlfriend I would worry that you think its ok to strike a small animal to correct them, even though she was the one dumb enough to suggest it.
"girlfriend said it was okay if i pop him he would act up. So i started to then it got real excessive"
Just from this part of a sentence, I wonder if she is up to being a pet owner as well AND I have to wonder what you mean when you say it got "real excessive".
God, this post turns my stomach and I sincerely hope you both get your collective s**t together and somehow turn into good puppy owners. Prayers for your girlfriend's dog.
