No, the dog does NOT know it's being punished. It knows it's being separated and isolated from it's pack (or any pack for that matter), and doesn't know why. Huge mistake to think the dog can determine any linkage between it's current situation and what happened weeks ago now.
The semantics of these kinds of statements really matter - you can't anthropomorphize animals in situations like this where life and death has literally been involved. They aren't that sophisticated.
