Just tell her and say what you just say to us, how it needs a lot of exercise and how the way you do this hurts your dogs also mention the fact tha physically scolding a dog can lead to fear and aggression which could cause a lot of problems for her and her dogs. hope i help
She might get mad that a total stranger is correcting her but at least she’ll learn and tell her the correct way of scolding a dog is a stern and low "No" kind of like a growl to a dog which is enough to show that what the dog did was wrong. References :
Buy her Cesar Millan’s book The Dog Whisperer. You can go online to find it. Excellent dog rehabilitator and people trainer. This dog is going to backfire big time if something isn’t done. References :
You don’t.
Unless you are seeing what actually IS abuse by legal standards, the best course of action is for you to mind your own business. References :
You explain to her (as you have to us) what you see and feel is wrong. Hitting a dog makes it either; become a bitter, possibly aggressive or vicious, or makes it fearful & hand-shy, which can also predispose it to bit (in fear).
If you cannot correct the dog AS it is doing something wrong, you can’t correct it later & have the dog have any IDEA what is going on. Dogs only live in the present and cannot associate a hit now with a former action on their part, at some prior point in the day. The dog is being taught to simply associate people coming home, to mean it will be HIT. References :

They could also damage the dogs snout. You could also tell her that all she is doing is fear training the dog and thats not good either.
