you must be joking- there are far better ways to deal with a puppy who is biting. Keep in mind that it was you who said you like your little "Viciousness"
Regardless that is no way to treat a dog- especially one WHO DOES NOT KNOW BETTER AND HAS BEEN ALLOWED TO BITE IN THE FIRST PLACE! I cannot even express how frustrating you are- you should really stop telling stories like this.....

Then one time when Lord was in the dogrun playing with his friends and Lola chasing all his friends away from him even though she herself didn't want to play with them I went in and picked up which means that Lola promtly bit my hand. As cute as she was I personally had enough of being bit. I picked her up by the scruff of her neck and was just holding her up in the air while she was trying to twist her neck and sink those sharp little puppy teeth in to my hand. After a while she gave up and started crying. Now I know that holding puppies by the scruff of their necks doesn't hurt them, but I didn't know much about corgis and she was so tiny that I thought {ok maybe I am hurting her} and put her down. After which she immediatly turned around and bit me. I picked her up again and this time would not let her go for anything for like half an hour or so (my arm was ready to fall off). After Lola finally figured out that I am not falling for tricks again she calmed down. I put her down and I am happy to say that we never had this issue again.
