We have 2 female dogs, one pitbull cross, and one pavement special. They are awesome dogs and my wife and I love them to bits, by and large they are very well behaved and obedient loving creatures. We live in a frestand with a large enclosed garden the girls often bark at passers by through a fence, particularly motorbikes, which isn't a problem, they are dogs, it's what dogs do. The issue is that they will Often be in the house with us and start barking in the house then run off outside to continue thier war against motorised delivery men.
Before, this was a mild annoyance which we just tolerated, but my wife gave birth to my twins recently and now it's a real problem, as they will start barking in the house while the children are napping, which causes all hell to break loose.
I have tried to curb this behaviour, by warning them trying to correct the behaviour, but this just seems to be making them fearful of me, which I really don't want, they are both rescues and have had some pretty bad experiences with men in the past unfortunately.
Anyone have any advice here, my wife and I could really use a nap too.
