A generally accepted method in the jet transport is: To correct a dutch roll motion you should apply a sharp ( firm, but not big ) aileron input towards the upcoming wing (in and out,don't keep it). Then again, if necessary. It is not advised to use rudder to correct dutch roll, the roll is much more visible than the yaw, so easier to correct.
