While yes Boogie posted it as sarcasm. However I am wondering is it a useful training method? Is it more of a puppy training tool? Or can t be used on an adult dog as in this situation?

I doubt it is a useful training method.

It sounds like a different version of the ear pinch correction that I have heard some people use (although at the point it was given, wth was she correcting, so if it was a correction it was an ill timed pointless one unless some behavior happened just prior to the ear pinch). Mainly I have heard of the ear pinch in the context of getting the dog to open it's mouth to accept the dumbbell.

Really sounds like she got frustrated/angry with the dog; which is human, but generally unproductive.
