I've used the method in one or two cases successfully but I just never had over-all success with it, I guess mainly because I didn't like getting up and trucking the dog - especially those 110 lbs. truculent GSD's, some of whom were human-aggressive when they first got here - off down the long hall into another room so I probably didn't keep it up long enough or often enough and found just stopping the behavior right then and there in the room worked better for me - lol - with far less walking up and down the hall to the spare room. And those big guys, especially newcomers who don't know the rules of the house yet, have a big, loud voice that can drive you nuts in a hurry and can could trash a piece of furniture, a wall or wooden door in no time when I wasn't right there to stop them, so I was never well-pleased with it for those reasons. For the most part, I'm against sedating an animal because he doesn't want to be left alone in a room, especially when I can address the problem without the time-out and problems it can create with certain dogs.

Still, the neat thing about dog training is there can be many ways to fix a problem and can usually be tailored to the dog owner's likes and needs and their dog's.
