ANOTHER VERNACULAR DEFINITION OF "DOG WALK"
Note: I haven't seen this definition online. However, I believe it fits how Cardi B used it:

"dog walk" (verb) = to overpower your opponent by physical force or otherwise so that the subdued, defeated opponent even (figuratively) yields to your walking him on a lease (similar to how dogs are walked by their master's).

This definition is similar to #2 [urban dictionary definition] except that there doesn't need to be a physical "ass whoopin".

Also, read this sentence from the online article given as #1 below:
"Pelosi managed to expertly drag the president by a leash like a disobedient dog".

That definition doesn't include any mention of beating/whipping any person.

Also note, that Cardi B didn't coin this definition for "dog walk".

I don't know how recent that definition is.

Additions and corrections are welcome.

INFORMATION ABOUT CARDI B'S USE OF "I WILL DOG WALK YOU"
1.
From https://www.wmagazine.com/story/dog-walked-meaning-cardi-b-pelosi-trump"Dear Oxford Dictionary, "Dog Walked" is Already the Word of the Year", by Kyle Munzenrieder
January 25, 2019
"With news that Donald Trump would back down on his plan to keep the federal government shut down until he procured funding for his wall (for three weeks at least), Twitter lit up with the proclamations that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had successfully "dog walked" Trump. Ironically enough, this was a turn of phrase that many Americans wouldn't have even understood the last time the Government was actually open. The phrase shot into the political-spehere, and especially discussion of the shut down, when Cardi B shot back at conservative commentator Tomi Lahren, ... on Twitter after Lahren criticized Cardi for even speaking out about the shutdown on Instagram. "Leave me alone I will dog walk you," wrote Cardi. Lahren did not, in fact, leave her alone, and as promised, got expertly dog walked in return.

Even Cardi herself agrees with the assessment that Pelosi managed to expertly drag the president by a leash like a disobedient dog. (Which is ironic, given that the worst thing Trump seems to think you can do to a dog is fire them. Fact check: most dogs do not hold employment to begin with).

While we're only 24 days into 2019 and have no idea what the rest of this year has in store for us, perhaps it's not too early to earmark "dog walk" for the Oxford English Dictionary folks as our earliest contender for Word of the Year. (Before you point out that, indeed, "dog walk" is technically two words, Oxford has chosen numerous two-word phrases—and even once an emoji—as its word of the year before, so there's precedent). Sure, by the end of 2019 we'll have all probably overused it and grown sick of "dog walked" (you'd be forgiven if you already think the below, now viral .GIF is a bit too much), but it sure does seem to be shaping up to be the year of dog walking.

This GIF shows Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi {Democratic) walking down the street, effortlessly holding dog leashes attached to President Trump and various Republican politicians. Trump and those Republican politicians are depicted with their face but with the body of a dog.

Again, note that there is no suggestion in the GIF of Pelosi physically beating up Trump and those Republican politicians.

2. From https://people.com/music/cardi-b-compliments-nancy-pelosi-basically-dog-walking-trump-ending-government-shutdown/"Cardi B Compliments Nancy Pelosi for 'Basically' Dog Walking Trump into Ending Government Shutdown" by JORDAN RUNTAGH, January 25, 2019
"Did the newly elected Speaker of the House “dog walk” President Donald Trump into temporarily ending the government shut down? Cardi B seems to think so.

The “Bodak Yellow” rapper, 26, responded to Dr. Eugene Gu’s tweet saying that “basically, Nancy Pelosi dog walked Trump.”

“Basically,” she responded, echoing his sentiment.

The line is a reference to Cardi B‘s recent threat to conservative FOX Nation host Tomi Lahren. The pair engaged in a war of words last week after Cardi B slammed President Trump for refusing to end the federal government shutdown over his controversial border wall.

While many fans have been delighted by Cardi’s political musings, Lahren wasn’t one of them.

“Looks like @iamcardib is the latest genius political mind to endorse the Democrats. HA! Keep it up, guys!” Lahren, also 26, wrote on Wednesday, shortly after Cardi criticized Trump for calling some federal employees back to work without being paid in an expletive-filled Instagram rant.

On Sunday, Cardi responded by telling Lahren, “Leave me alone or I will dog walk you.”

[...]

Lahren addressed the feud on her show on Wednesday.

“To put it pretty simply, I saw that video that she had posted and I implied that maybe Cardi B isn’t the person we should be taking our political advice from. It took her a few days, but she responded and instead of arguing about the merits of her political argument, she said that she was going to ‘dog walk’ me,” Lahren, also 26, said. “And viewers can look up on Urban Dictionary what ‘dog walking’ someone means but to put it simply, it’s to severely beat somebody up. So we go from a political disagreement to I want to hurt you.”

[...]

President Trump said Friday he would agree to temporarily reopen the federal government for three weeks after a 35-day shutdown — a historic closure begun by his demand for a border wall, which Congressional Democrats, empowered in the midterms, have roundly rejected.

[...]

After five weeks, the president’s reversal amounted to a concession to the Democrats’ stated position throughout: End the shutdown, which affects nine federal agencies and some 800,000 employees, while continuing to negotiate about the specific issue of border security."...
