The pup is trying to establish it's position within the pack. That includes how he ranks with you it will only get worse unless you channel the energy somewhere productive. That is not a "time out." Sit is productive , down the same, come, heel, kennel (on a place board.) To keep treating the...

Fine. I will give you this suggestion. You probably won't use it because, it seems that one minded approaches abound here. No balance. When I wrote be smarter than the dog I wasn't kidding. Set boundaries, use all of the tools that you have at your disposal. Now in order to do this you must...

So is any dog you take the time to understand and work with properly. So what is the point?
