Naughty Pups – Help Me Train Them Please!?

Hello I have two dogs, One who is 3 years old who was a beautiful girl, could take her anywhere and she didnt do anything wrong, then we bought a puppy All went out the window, that puppy is now about 16 months old now. and both dogs have gone ferral, Where we use to live was on a path way, so they never saw dogs unless they walked passed, which the dog on the other side of the path barked at, of cause our dogs learnt this habbit. in which we had tried VERY hard to get them to stop, we have now moved to a corner block where we live next door to a little fluffy dog think its a shitzu or something, one that yaps at our dogs when they play, (they are very rough together) sometimes ours bark back, (when we are home we stop them, by making them come and sit and wait for 10 secs without barking and give them a treat) but when i am at work i think the little dog must get put outside. Cos my pups are digging near the fence to get to it, The neighbour has a plank of wood along the gound on its side so their dog cant dig but i dont know how to stop them, i have put poo in their holes, they dont care, they still dig in it. any suggestions?
also with the clothes line… the last place we could fence it off, but this new place we are unable to do it (we only rent) how do we stop them getting my clothes off the line, at the moment i am using those little hangers that you take camping and putting it in garage, but i dont like it. He does the same to plants, instead of digging he just grabs the tops and pulls them out and shakes them (thinks they are toys) we have sprayed the dog off stuff and tried poo and nothing works so far, so we have put plants out front of house, but would like to have them out back again if possible. He only does it when i am not home they have LOADS of toys, which we swap every few days and hide the others, aparently that keeps them interested in them, they get bones when we go to work, they have a kiddy pool which they play in, and have each other, they get walks at night, which is a nightmare in itself, they bark at every dog, cat or person they go past and pull really hard to get to them, they have special collars called infin8 holter or something, link is http://www.blackdog.net.au/index.php?page=shop.browse&category_id=2&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=5 spose to be great for this kind of thing. We did have them in dog obedience classes, but they got use to the dogs there, and would still bark at ones in street, the people that ran the course told us, that they will never get use to strange dogs, which i thought had to be wrong.
Can anyone suggest what we can try, I dont believe in punishment, ie hurting them so no shock colars or anything Jemma did have a choaker chain but made no difference, i dont blame them for being naughty, i blame us for not teaching them right, can anyone please help me to show them the right way, to be good
thanks very much
oh Jemma is a 3 year old Lab x Great Dane
Benson is a 16 Month Cattle cross something?….
kind of looks like a whipit or greyhound apparently, VERY fast

Best Way To Train My Ig Pups To Not Go Near The Road?

I have two 4-month-old Italian Greyhound puppies. Right now, because it is cold outside, they don’t go very far. But as it warms up I know they will enjoy being outside. I will be living in an apartment on my father’s small farm. We have a decent amount of land and I want to give the pups their freedom to run, play, etc. But, I do not want them going near the road or going in the horse pasture where they could get trampled.
An invisible fence is out of the question. I was considering a wireless pet fence but I really don’t want to do that either.
My father has a 1-year-old rat terrier the pups play with a lot. My dad has trained him not to go near the road. He has the freedom our previous dogs (lab and doberman) always have had. They basically had the freedom to run wherever they wanted and never went in the road. But I’m worried that if the pups go near it, their rat terrier friend will follow.
I would invest in a fence but we have so much land it would be almost impossible. Others have mentioned chicken- wire type fences that I should put up in an area on the lawn.
Please give me some advice. I know my dad will help in training as he has trained all of our dogs very well. I would like some additional suggestions.
Thanks!

How Do I Train Her Not To Bark When I Am Not Home?

My dog sticks to me like glue but she gets very sad when I have to leave her. When she is alone, even when locked in a room alone she barks and barks. She is a Doberman/Pointer/Greyhound mix so, as you can imagine, her bark is rather loud.
Do any of those gimmicks work? Is there any trick to get her to stop barking. It is hard for me to train her to stop when I can’t be in the room.

We Are Adopting A Beautiful 2 Year Old Retriever/greyhound And Want To Crate Train…?

Should she sleep in the crate, or should we take her bed out of her crate and bring it in our bedroom with us (I’ve read that dogs are pack animals and should sleep with their pack)? At what times do we tell her to go in her crate (other than when we’re gone)? Should we banish her to her crate when she is bad, or should it be viewed as a positive place?
