YorkieRose,
While you and I agree on alot of things, we're going to have to "agree to disagree" on this one.

IMHO, time out *is* punishment for dogs because they are such social animals.

Again, this is IMHO, but I believe that picking up a dog is giving her positive reinforcement for a behavior that you're trying to extinguish. And, chasing the dog to pick them up is doubly reinforcing.
