Default help meeeeeee!LONG

I need help! I have 3 dogs. And i am going crazy. Our hound mix, Daisy, will not stop barking. If i unlock my front door she starts barking and won't stop. If i peek open the blindes she goes crazy and won't stop. If someone on the street shuts their car door, yep she goes crazy. it makes me soooo stressed out.

My chihuahua mix,Harley. Is a little butt. He is mean. If my husband tries to kiss or hug me on the couch he will bite him(more like a snap). If i do it to my hubby he will snap at me too. He bit hubby in the lip the other day. If Daisy has a toy, Harley will kill her to try to get it.lol. He WILL NOT accept our new dog Leo. We have had him for 2 weeks and i can't put them together. Everyday is a constant struggle. I switch off all day, back and forth....Leo in garage, other 2 inside...put other 2 in crates..let Leo inside...put Leo back out let other 2 dogs out. ALL DAY LONG! Thank goodness we are getting a fence installed on Wednesday! But still cannot put Leo out there with the other 2. Him and Daisy are fine, they are okay with eachother except Leo mounts Daisy. Daisy and Harley just got fixed about 3 weeks ago. Leo is not fixed yet.

I am wanting to have a baby soon....but see NO WAY that I could with 3 barking BITING growling dogs (Harley is the only biter and growler). HELP!

If you have 2 dogs that are clearly out of control, why would you get a 3rd?

how many serious walks a day is the hound getting - at least 30 minutes each? she needs a lot of exercise

have either of these dogs gone to obedience classes? that often builds their confidence, & is good socialization.

it certainly sounds like they have not been well socialized with people or dogs at all.

a lot of chi's are little monsters but is there teasing going on with him? sounds like thats what is happening.

how dogs are introduced has a lot to do with how they get along. the new dog should have been kept seperated from the others for at least a week.

Leo's mounting may be hormonal or it may be a dominance issue. keep in mind that the hormones can stay in the system for up to 2 months after the neutering.

if you can't take all this now, can't stand the crate & rotating - there will be a LOT more of the balancing act if you have kids.

I would suggest among all the other things that you google NILIF & start using it right away consistantly with all of them
