I have been a little more aggressive about that type conduct from a Pup, and I agree, it's unacceptable.
What I do is Growl as I reach down, and "pinch" (firmly) on the back it's neck. I know that sounds funny, and maybe a little rough, but it does work, and alerts/trains the Pup to be aware of Growls, and the result of it's conduct.
Sometimes, you got to act like a Dog, to get along with them.
