I have no children but wouldn't use this on a dog. Physical punishment only teaches the dog to fear the owner. Most dogs basically want to do the right thing. To train a dog, your establish your authority by your attitude and presence (act like a leader), you have them do something that makes sense to a dog, and you reward them right away when they get it right.
Someone who trains a dog with pain and physical punishment is only raising a fearful, neurotic canine.
If it is too cruel and useless for dogs, then doubly so on children
