    Your dogs need more exercise. All dogs need a nice, long daily walk. They also need mental activity. Once you get all this in the dogs will be more calm and not have as much pent up energy. They also need play time to wear them out. Having bored dogs on your hand is trouble because they end up tearing your place apart. More exercise equals calmer dogs.

    Exercise is the best thing to keep dogs in check. Let them outside often, supervised, if you have a fenced yard, or walk both of them every day. Get someone to help you make an enclosure that will keep them in!

    Have to dito everyone else....exercise is the answer....you don't say what kind of dogs....assuming their on the med or large size....try hiking in the woods....my dog loves it....we go deep enough so we don't run into people....she comes off her leash and off she goes chasing deer, rabbits, squirrels...even a turkey vulture once...when were done she is TIRED OUT..and...so am I...lol....

    A good hour to hour and half hike in the woods at least a couple of times a week is great not only for the dogs...but for us.....good luck to you

    PLAY WITH THEM!!!

    they just have lots of energy just like kids make them wear themselves out, then they will also sleep better and you'll get a work out.

    you could also give them a bone to tear up the big thick kinds you find at the pet

    store.
