Timeout for dogs is a powerful dog training tool that enforces correct behavior WITHOUT hurting your relationship with your pets.
As a dog trainer, I am a big advocate of timeout for dogs as a way of discipline. In my training, I value connection before correction.
I absolutely know that shouting, scaring, and threatening our puppies and dogs to obedience can only work so much.
But I get it — training puppies and dogs can be hard and frustrating so furparents often resort to the old ways because nothing seems to work.
This blog aims to remind you, dear dog owner, that there’s a powerful tool that you can still use: TIMEOUTS.
In this blog, I’m going to talk more about timeouts, how to do it right, and how to make them truly work for your dogs.
Key Takeaways:
You can discipline and train your dog without using force or threatening them. In fact, this form of discipline is more effective.
You can make timeouts more effective by understanding the foundation for timeouts including the appropriate time duration, and how to do timeouts with love.
Dogs respond fast. Calm and consistent consequences is your powerful partner to ensuring negative behavior is stopped.

Timeout for Dogs: How Timeout Taught a Dog to Stop a Bad Behavior
I worked with a dog who had this habit of chewing wires. Check out the full video below for the story.

 

Now chewing wires is not just generally unsafe for Jack, the dog, but it also posed a risk for damages.
The first time Jack chewed on the wires, I quietly took him into the bathroom and left him for a few minutes.
After the first timeout, Jack continued to head over to the wires.
Calmly, I once again led him to the bathroom.
After he got out of the second timeout, he looked at the wires then looked at me as if saying:
“I’m going to try again to see if you’re really putting me in timeout because of this.”
He went to the wires for the third time.
However, after the third timeout, he caught on: he was placed in the bathroom because he was chewing the wires. When he came out, he totally stopped going to the wires.
It was a beautiful thing to witness!
