We told her bad girl, and yes we did give a firm two fingered tap on her hind quarters, and told her stay bad girl.

Fast forward to 10 mins later. We got distracted and forgot about her! She was still in her cubby, and knew her 10 mins was well up but she stayed in there, but slowly started growling, telling us, I'm mad, I'm past the time out, come on!

So time out can work, IF the proper training has been worked on before. If not, they will not understand time out.

PS, your yorkie is a pup, he's gonna WANT to be buck wild all the time, it's normal!

Well said!
