    Have you tried basic obedience training with your dogs. You can restructure your relationship with these dogs by training them. Medications are reserved for dogs with behavior issues and even then we only use them on occasion.

    To get started I'd really encourage you to attend a class with a good trainer. A good trainer is well worth the time and money and you'll get results much faster. Look for a Clicker training class or another type of rewards based training system.I'd take one dog at a time too.

    If you can't afford a training class get some materials through the Clicker Training Web site and get started on your own. With patience and practice you can pull it off. Take a look at the clicker site below for more information.

    Not that I know of, however training will help with the issues you're experiencing. Your dogs need not only physical exercise but also mental stimulation. Dogs will generally 'calm' as they get older but training them/handling them correctly will also help them learn manners and not be all over the place.

    Your dogs need training and a whole lot more exercise than what they get. Same goes for most so callex ADHD kids. They also need a healthy diet. Again, most kids diagnosed ADHD, same story.

  • Don't dose your dogs. This is what dogs do, they will mature with proper training and care. Please don't label in order to get a quick solution that will most likely not work and will be counter productive.

    Dogs don't get ADHD.

    They get training and lots of exercise. They're not born with manners, you have to teach them how to behave.

    If your first idea is to drug your dogs, the best thing you can do for them is give them away.
