You’re asking if head trauma can cause brain damage in animals?

Dogs do have thicker skulls than humans, wrapped in more muscle than humans. Both of these make the skull better at absorbing shocks, so much less force should transfer through to the brain.

As long as your dog isn’t regularly running headfirst straight into the corners of tables, I wouldn’t worry too much.
