I own 5 dogs, they're all over 4 years old, the oldest being 7. Anytime a stranger come into our property and they notice, or there's a noise that they don't like, they bark at it. We want them to still be protective when someone is on our territory (they're a great alarm system, lol), but how can we get them to be quiet on command. Obviously we've had them all a long time, and I've tried training by the books with treats and scolding. All I get from anyone of them is a response of "LOOK FOOD, EVERYONE BARK" and scolding only affects them for a few minutes. They're like rebellious children! I love 'em but they just don't know how to be quiet on command (what so ever). And getting them their food is a barking frenzy as well! I know they're all quite old to be trained but I never thought to you Yahoo! Answers till now. Your help is greatly appreciated.
Older dogs / parents: male (About 7 years old), female (about 6 years old, not totally sure, we found her on the streets long ago, never found her owners).

Younger dogs / pups: 2 female, 1 male. (All about 3-4 years old)
 
you need to take the dogs out of the room, or you could try tarining them like this, first you stare at them and be the domonetnt one of the pack. then say quiet and slice your arms in a sideways motion. don't sound angry, sound strong. just don't yell.
 
lol I asked this same question yesterday...lets see if this section answers you the same...or if they are biased.
