I love my dogs, but there are days.....What can I say? I'm just not up for barking and merrymaking and all that doggy stuff. That's when discipline-not punishment comes in. HINT: It works better if you've practice this a lot before hand.
My godsend is the crate. Crate means immediate quiet, a treat, settle in, relax. Because of that, there is never any reason for my dogs to "get on my nerves".
The point of this observation is that if you have a dog that is "too much for you" maybe the problem isn't with the dog. Animals, being animals, will exploit any weakness. What are you dogs telling you about yourself?

Funny, I never find my dog annoying. Now the cat, thats another story.
Well, cats are supposed to be annoying.
I was going to say I have five dogs, which makes it tougher, but things like feeding, letting them out, etc. we do en masse, so it's like one dog unit. One on one I am rarely annoyed, although sometimes my patience can be tried.
