The only time I've scruffed him is if he lunges towards the face because I want to send the message that that is a HUGE no-no.

We have a simililar problem with both our dogs.

I am the alpha, the wife is just a member of the pack who happens to be able to stand up, fill the water bowl and get treats out of the cabinet.
