It doesn't sound like you have too terribly difficult problems. Both
dogs sound like they're merely untrained, not like they have temperament
problems. (You came to that conclusion. I'm agreeing with you.)


I know you say you're short on funds, but you ought to be able to find a
dog training class at a dog club or night school that doesn't cost too
much. (Maybe not. I don't know where you are.) Ask your veterinarian
to point you in the right direction, or see if there's a resource guide
at the library.


Since you don't have specific problems and just need general guidance,
I'd say go to the library and look at the books they have there. There
are lots of methods to choose from. One will work. Be consistent.
