Thank you for your kind and helpful replies! I have realized as well, that Maya is teething, is only a puppy, had not gotten out for her daily long walk due to deep, deep snow (neither had I - lol). Many, many variables, too much energy, etc...
It was good to hear about proper use of the crate versus OTHER time-out scenarios; REALLY good to be reminded that chasing the dog turns the event into a game -duh to me, helpful to compare a puppy to a 1 year old, and good to be reminded that tomorrow is another day!
Our second session of 'Manners' Classes begins Wednesday and I am sure I will learn many more valuable parenting tips. as well, I will check out the recommended reading materials - I have lots of time waiting for all the snow to melt!
Thanks again, i really do enjoy this site.
