If you know of a local dog trainer that your family trusts, speak with them and come up with a plan that everyone feels good about. A reputable trainer is able to speak about the different ways and guide everyone so that you guys can get together and get the pups trained. Good Luck and I don't envy you I know this 1 little pup is putting me through my paces and she has honestly been a breeze . I can't even grasp how a person would get the herd you have reliable, my nerves would be shot and my feet would need a good soak
