Well, they listen to the other workers, parents, etc. more than to me if they are misbehaving. Tantrums, not sharing, etc. Same story with my dog. He's a barker, but I'm the only person in the house that when left alone with me, he will bark incessantly. I've tried sweet talking him. Playing with him. He'll stop in the middle of a game of tug-of-war to go on a barking spree. I've tried being firm - stern voice, swat on the rear end, putting him in his kennel - nothing works. He doesn't take me seriously.

Thoughts?
