You don't say if you've taken them to obedience classes - if you haven't that is what you should do. There you'll learn how to deal with them better and also to socialise them with other dogs. Next step is for you - become the pack leader. If the boy dog thinks he has to whine and cry when you bath the female, he thinks he's in charge. You have to make it known in no uncertain terms that you are in charge. I wrote several articles in this blog in the series "Tales From The Pack" about how to do that so I won't repeat them here. Have a read through and try these things out - they work but they also take time so you have to be patient.
