I would go back to basics. Take them out every hour and if you can't keep and eye on them all the time get and x-pen (doggie playpen). I also have a baby playpen set up that I can just drop her in when I am too busy to watch her. Just remember be very consistant and patient. These dogs live to please. Also the kennel helps you learn how long they really can hold it. I wouldn't leave them in more than 3 or 4 hours but mine sleeps in hers at night. I realize they are older but they will hush after awhile. Try using a spray bottle to get them to quite down. I hope this helps. Good Luck. And congrats on your new babies.
