No offense but that's seriously bad comparison. The correct comparison would be:
If your child misbehaves, wrap your arms around them, gently lay them on the floor and hold them until they stop squirming.
If you want your dog to have a time out, teach them to go lay on their mat, go to their crate, lay on their bed etc.
See...two entirely different methods.
