ok...all else a side, JL, what do you do as a method of correcting behavior, you must have one, because we can let our furbabies run crazy and at some point they do things they shouldn't and need some correction. How do you go about it?"

I do not corrrect at all. I ignore bad behaviour as any notice of it even negative will reinforce it.
That which you feed with any action will repeat.
Now that said I will step in and redircet a problem.
As in if my dog goes after one of the others I will step in between using good dog speack and slipt them up.

If my dog goes to snag something she should not have I call her name and redirect her to what I want whic his feet on the ground or leave it and I reward the right action.

If she takes off which is rare as hens teeth I go the other way and make like a party. she comes nad I reward that come not htetaking off.

I catch them doing and being good and I do not set them up to fail.
