The majority of Pem breeders in the US do use the banding method.

The scooting issue sounds more like a traction and coordination thing, especially considering his age, rather than anything having to do with the tail docking. I've seen 5-6 week old Cardigan puppies do the same thing when they sit on linoleum, tile or other slick surfaces and they do have their tails.

And for the record, vets do not "chop" off the tails when they dock - cropping is done on ears.
