Don't give them access to the front of the house if you know that they will bark at people walking past other than when you want them to prevent a burglary.
Get an outdoor postbox so that the postman doesn't have to come to the door.
When you come home throw a handful of kibble or a favourite toy each from your pocket. They will then get into the habit of putting their head down and eating or picking up a toy, both of which are incompatible with barking.
Because you have two dogs they will be feeding off of each other and winding each other up.
Spend time with each dog seperately as often as you can for walks, play and training so that they look to you for guidance instead of each other. |
