greeting from newbie

hello everybody,
 
         i'm a newbie in this forum and as a dog owner too....recently i adopted 2 dogs ( mix breed) from SPCA. kimi is a white shezu mixed with multis i belive, and benji is labodor mixed with unknown breed.  they are both very adorable but sometime too active and very noisy. i can't seems to stop them from barking , so here i am hoping to learn a thing or two from all the expert here.
