Yeah well they can and do understand time outs.
In positive training methods it used and works well all the time.
It part of a well thought out program based on Learning Theroy.
I look into Pam Dennison's work or Pat Millers as they both use time outs effectively.
Instincts are only behavior and behavior is alway able to be changed..
