Should I take action in this regard?

Hitting is abusive to the body. Animal abuse is when you hurt an animal physically. It is a crime. There’s no middle ground here. Also, if your dog is hiding and going to the bathroom, I highly doubt that your dad is “lightly nudging” him. Stop putting down what he’s doing for him.

It is not right to hit dogs, but when they do misbehave you definitely should do so before they become a menace

Sure. Most animals regard hitting as just a human injuring them; they do not see the connection between hitting and doing something against their permission. It works far better to provide positive reinforcement. Kindly remember that assaulting animals constitutes abuse.
