| I'm getting a little different read from the OP. I don't see this as a Mother/Daughter issue. It's more like both have different expectations for the dogs' behavior. First off, it's not clear just whose dogs they are. All I see is that she posts that WE have these dogs. Second, the behaviors the OP complains about are the barking when Mom comes home and the dogs running around when the OP has friends over. I think Mom and OP need to come to a middle ground here. Perhaps Mom could not feed into the frenzy when coming home by ignoring the dogs for a minute until they've calmed down a bit. And the OP could entertain friends in an area of the house where the dogs aren't around. This may be the best compromise they'll arrive at. Not everyone wants their dogs 'trained'. Some just want to love and spoil them and that's their right. Again, it's not clear whose dogs they are but I suspect they are Mom's dogs. If that's true, giving a little ground by both may be the only workable solution. I'll also point out that since these dogs are crated at night, they need to run off any pent-up energy during the day so they are not so excitable but hey...one of them IS a Yorkie....so we know how that goes .

| Perhaps the OP could trake the dogs out for a nice long walk before the mother gets home and they will be tired and easier to control. But as pointed out, the mother might not want their behavior to change. As I pointed out previously, it is hard to give advice without seeing the entire picture. She has not answered my question asking if there was a need to be living with her mother. She said that she has told her mother that the dogs need to be disciplined, her mother has rejected that advice, so evidently does not mind the barking and is not concerned that the daughter is botherd by it. |

| Reading back on the OP's old posts, it seems like the Yorkie was having seizure issues last year. I don't see anything about a diagnosis being made but would have to wonder about the safety of disciplining her in ways such as picking her up by the scruff. Maybe someone can weigh in on this as a medical issue should always be considered first before a training issue.

Thor's Human Donating Member | I can't comment on the seizure issues, but for people whose dogs are getting fed more than they should: they make little "clock" signs that you can use to show the last time the dog was fed, walked, etc. I think they are meant for a multiple member household, but it could maybe be helpful to someone with memory problems?

I wouldn't encourage using this method when there are much kinder, and more positive methods of correcting or even training dogs. I taught a dog of mine, who was born to bark, to bark on que and it really helped with her not barking incessantly at other times. You might try finding other ways to make the puppies quit barking or tone it down. Frankly, I am one of those people who love the pandemonium my arrival home creates and encourage it. My mother lives with me now, and if she doesn't like it, I'm sorry, there are only so many compromises I am willing to make and that isn't one.

I am guessing that one who picks them up in that manner as a correction is not doing it gently. It still comes down to, it is the mothers house. Anyone coming to my house does not like my dogs, they are welcome to leave. And that includes my children. | |

I guess it's a moot point since the OP hasn't been back on since the 11th......

| I agree...Well behave dog is far more pleasant to live near. Plus, dog who bark too much can be taken away. At least hear they can.

| I have to agree with that, my mother doesn't have to stay in my home if she doesn't like my dogs or treat them kindly, either.
