We've been having a few undesired behaviors from our 7 month old boy such as ripping up furniture and biting people's clothes and hands. Two trainers have told us to try putting him in timeout in another room for 10-15 seconds when he does one of these behaviors (one suggested using his playpen for timeout, but I'm pretty firmly against building up a negative association with it.) It has been kind of working, and I'm trying to be consistent with it, but it makes me feel kind of mean. Should I keep at it or am I just scaring the poor dog?
