if you want a physical correction, i've found that a swat on the butt works better then a scruff shake. that can even be dangerous. and i always tell people to never hit them on the nose. this can be dangerous, as well as the fact that it usually only makes them more determined to bite whatever hit them on the nose.
though i have found that ignorring them works just fine too. it depends on the individual dog.

Please, if your dog is arthritic look into getting it Elk Velvet Antler. Look up my posts on it, PM me, or look it up on a search engine; but please if you love your dog and want it to live many more years consider this option. I've seen so many posts on here about dogs needlessly suffering. I can't make a new post about EVA every time so this plea is going here. EVA also helps with other ailments such as anemia.
