Bentley will be 5 months on the 27th and still has days like this. Time out is excellent.
I did want to suggest though that you get out of eye shot of him when he's in time out it you can. Isolation might seem a little mean, but it makes a big difference in them when you let them back out. Also, if he is particularly devilish be prepared to put him right back in timeout. Sometimes Bentley will come out biting if he's particularly spazzy. If you are consistent with the timeouts and do it immediately it helps. A good ouch, no bite and in timeout. Be quick so he can associate the action with the timeout and isolation. 5 minute time out seems to be sufficient, anything longer I think they might think it's just oh she must be busy that's why I'm in here(but that's just my logic lol).
