I usually say a loud "NO" to Mugzy and clap my hands loudly. If he's chewing something he shouldn't then I take it and give him a chewy toy instead. If he's getting really rough with the kids I pick him up and try to hold him, but that doesn't usually work, so I put him in his crate for about 10 minutes, that almost always calms him down...he doesn't cry in there either, so it's not too harsh. When he gives a small bark in about 10 minutes, I let him out and he's much much calmer.
