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. |
