    Sharp commands. Talk to a trainer, they will show you the proper way to do it.

    Dogs bark! get over it. shouldn’t have gotten a house full of dogs if you didn’t like something that you would know they do.

    Edit: Not your dogs= none of your business. Don’t like it then make other living arrangements.

    Edit: Your the one not listening… MOVE!!!!

    sorry people aren’t answering you. Try this, when one is barking, walk over to it, get close and say “QUIET”, in a meaningful voice. (not angry, but rather confident). As soon as he is quiet, give him a treat and say “GOOD BOY”. Next time, say “QUIET” but wait a few seconds. If he’s quiet for those few seconds, treat him and say good. Gradually increase the time you expect them to stay quiet. This will take quite some time and effort since there is more than one dog, but you can do it, surely.

    Reward for quiet behaviour (tasty treats usually work best). Quiet behaviour will increase and barking will decrease and eventually become extinct.

    You never have to physically (or mentally) hurt a dog to train it.

    Spray bottle of water. Can of bolts (metal objects) to shake when they bark.
    A Gentle Leader on each dog. That has worked wonders for my dogs!
