Answers:
the one thing you forgot. YOU need to be the top dog in the "pack order" ALL humans are ABOVE all dogs in the pack order, this is important. Get them off your bed and if they try to get back up BITE them with your hand and stop them. Get a metal trash can for the house that has a lid that the dogs can't tip over. Put in a doggy door so they can go out to poop. Make sure inside poop is cleaned INSTANTLY and area sprayed with Lysol and ammonia.
We did our Chihuahuas with "poo-poo-potty" and they now head to the doggy door. We would take turns going out with them to ensure they went. Praise the tar out of them when they do it where they should ,"good boy, poo-poo-potty" but praise or stopping them should be as soon as they are doing it.
You need to show them that you're the boss not any of them.
you take the pack leader role and all will be sorted. you don't measure up and one or all of them will walk all over you. never let them on the bed unless invited specifically
they don't sleep on the bed. only short visits by invite only. the bed is the kings throne.
First off, be a responsible owner and spay and neuter, that will help a lot. There is no reason to breed, especially since you don't call them by there real breed.
You also need to establish you are pack leader, not them.
