I had a dog, collie-shephard, Bo, that turned out to be one of the best, most obedient dogs ever had. Got him at the pound at about 4 months old and was a rough houser. Ate me out of house and home. Was an idiot until just about two years old to the day. Chewed the ends off of the coffee tables and stuff. One day I was bending over picking up a steak knife that he had chewed the wooden handle off of, and saw that he chewed a working antique radio up. Really thought of killing him that day. Turned out to be the best, most obedient dog I ever had. My older lab, Maggie used to tear into him from time to time, viciously, but once I figured what triggered her, I did my best to avoid stting her off.
Takes time. I have a lab now, Maxwell, about 3 years old that was quite the punkster too. Tried my patience a few times, but is a good dog now. Had an older lab, Lou that went to bed ok one night, woke up the next day blind and running into stuff, the vet couldn't figure out why. Maxwell would eat, and then go over and shove blind Lou away from his bowl. A few times I could have killed Maxwell and raised the voice to him, never hand, and he does ok now. Besides, if he gets out of hand, my older golden, Macy will put him in his place.
Its going to take time and patience. Dn't let them see you raise a hand to them, or they will fear you and possibly run and get hurt or killed in the process. All of my dogs have been good ones, but it took work. I've got family members with collies, labs, boxers, and it takes time. YOU ARE their master, and they must know that YOU ARE their master.
The picking on the older dog stuff? Need to put an end to that, otherwise they will get more and more out of line. One thing you have going for you is that they came from the pound. Strays are easier to house break. Strays make the best dogs. We have always had strays and always will.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Journey to Ankeny - by Cindy Ladage. We left Illinois on the first day of July and headed north and west for Ankeny, Iowa. Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
