obvisouly your isolation method isn't yielding any results, so why do you continue with it? I don't understand what the dog is supposed to learn by being isolated? other than the fact that he does [insert bad behavior here] and is forced to be by himself because of it. if you isolate for everything, how will he know what he did wrong? do you expect him to know? I guarentee you 3 seconds into "isolation" and he's forgotten what he did, and still doesn't KNOW what OFF or LEAVE IT means.

you need to TEACH through positive experiences, allowing the dog to make a choice for either a reward or a correction (not isolation).
