When Waeryn still wasn’t giving up on the treat the instructor showed us how to give them a few LIGHT taps on the nose with our fist until they backed off.
Do you mean pushing back at the nose with your closed hand? Or tapping on top of the muzzle?

I can see pushing back/tapping the nose with the closed fist. It does not result in a hit, it's just barely pushing back as the dog is nosing or pushing your hand with it's nose in an attempt to get the treat. Hard to describe without having a visual to show it.
