[old and tired]

Does this dog have a crate? When she gets obnoxious, she needs a time-out, given in a matter-of-fact, unemotional way.

I'm a big believer in crating a dog, and sometimes dogs do need to calm down in a crate, but I'd be careful not to use the crate as a punishment. A crate is like the dog's cave. A dog should always feel safe in his cage.

Simply placing the dog, without emotion, in a crate when she is in a hyper-emotional (obnoxious) state is not punishment. It is removing her from the over-stimulation, which allows her to calm down.
