Well, I talked to my family about it, and the general consensus was that I only yelled at them when they're barking, and that they think I'm joining in, and bark louder. I know that's the only time I've heard him yell at them. Sooooo.... my son and I are going to remind each other when we do it, and point out that we're not being very effective.
If that doesn't work, we'll consider yelling at the dogs equivilant cursing in terms of having to contribute to the curse cup.
My son loves to have the opportunity to let his parents know when they're breaking the rules, so this should work well enough.
The only other time they can think of that I yell is when my largest dog has an "accident" in the house, and we all rather think that's yell-worthy, so it won't have any consequences.
