No popping on the rear or any part of a pups body. Verbal commands only. Popping, smacking causes fear in the dog, fear of hands as other members have stated. If dog is completely out of hand as another member wrote "touch the flank using two or three outstretched fingers if he's absolutely manic to distract the dog". Train dog with different word commands for different behavior issues, Consistency, patience , reward,praise no pop on the butt.
