The most effective 'stopper' is vocal, not physical.
When you need the dog to stop misbehaving, say "OUGHT!!" in a loud, snappish tone.
That will get his attention and is to be used sparingly--don't get him too used to it.
For whatever reason, this will stop 99% of the doggy BS instantly. I believe it tells them they screwed up in their own language, and this is the only way I managed to train my cattle dog as well as I did.
Try it along with LT's advice. And give an OUGHT when he starts in again.
Sounds like SOMEONE needs to learn how to do a 'Long Down/Stay' to me...
