I would HIGHLY recommend (yes, once again) The Dog Listener by Jan Fennell. It explains alot about being the Alpha and how dogs were derived from wolves, explaining most of their behaviour.
When you walk into the house, I would try COMPLETELY ignoring them until they calm down. Then wait another 5 minutes (if they are still being calm). Ignoring includes not making eye contact, not talking and not touching. Act like they are simply not there, no matter what they do (jump, bark)
You and if there are any other members of your family should do that everytime they come in, you should be consistent. After that there are more steps, example eating something before you give your dog the food (making sure they see you). Still, get the book!
