Dog Help

First off, this is for help with real life dogs, not the ones on this site.
I live with four dogs and three of them are driving me insane.

I have never had this many problems with dogs in my entire life, I think my parents just stopped caring about actually training them. My main issue is that two of them bark, all of the time. (To the point where we cannot leave the windows open and I fear that someone might call the police.) Both of these dogs belong to my father, who believes that they can do no wrong. My mother screams at them, which, frankly, does nothing.
My next issue is with my mother's dog, who has made more training. She hates to be outside. She calls up the side of door if she is out there more than a minute. We actually were starting to train her and she got better. However, one day she started clawing and my mother went out to work with her to find blood all over the door. The dog had hurt herself clawing on the door. Now said dog has to be let in the moment she even touches the door, or else I get yelled. I know that she is worried that the dog will hurt herself again, but I really think it would be better to just train her not to.
I know for a fact that neither one of my parents will help me train them as we once took the dog in the last story to obedience school. Where my father claimed that the dog listened better me and my mother lost interest. So, I ended up being the one that had to work with her. While I do not mind training, I really think my parents should have don more with her.
I thought about doing basic training with all three of them, however this is where I need help. One of the ones that barks all of them time is a Border Collie and I know that they are very hard to train. What advice would you give me when it comes to her? The other is a Golden Retriever and samoyed mix, who my father has give so much freedom to that he only tend to listen to my father. How do I go about getting him away from that/earn his respect?
My mother's dog has already had basic training and listens fairly well. So, what would be the next step for her? Please note, that she does not like the clicker (it scares her), so I cannot clicker train her.

I apologize for my rambling, but I have only ever trained two dogs (my dog and my mother's), who were both fairly eager please me. Thank you for any help and please let me know if you need any more information. I tend to ramble and not make a lot of sense when I have just woken up.
