No worries.
It shouldn't hurt the pup at all.
You do have to be careful how it is done because if they are picked up too close to the head, the eyes can be pulled wide open.
I scruff Ellie sometimes and she is fine.
It isn't cruel but I do understand that it might look that way.
Sometimes I have to to try and get some control and that is what their mother would do.
I think that the Dog Whisperer does it too.
