Our 9 week old Jack Russell is the same. She can be so loving and docile and loves to be cuddled and stroked, but other times she's like a maniac. She goes for everyones shoelaces and trousers when they come in and no amount of "leave it", cajoling, offering toys etc can stop it. It escalates and she starts growling and nipping anyone who comes near. We too use the time out - we have a dog pen in the lounge. This seems to work to calm her down - until the next time! We've been trying the bite inhibition thing too but she doesn't seem to get it either, the yelping just winds her up more!
