How can I train my dog in agility at home?

So, I recently discovered that my dog who’s around a year old would be perfect for agility.
I don’t want to enroll in classes and I would like to do the training myself. What do I need, what are some tips, what do I teach it, and how?

How do I stop the neighbors dog from constantly barking all the time when they are not home?

When they’re home, it’s all good. But as soon as they leave, it’s non stop bark, bark, bark. I live in an apartment, and complaints to the office have gone unfulfilled. The people are pricks to say the least, and when asked if they might be able to do something about it, they respond “it’s a dog. Thats what they do.”

Any suggestions for this problem? Anything I might be able to buy from a store? I’m willing to try anything at this point.

Oh, I should also mention that I have 2 cats and don’t want to use anything that might freak them out. I’m not sure if dog whistles are heard by cats.

And before someone mentions it, I don’t want to move. This is the sweetest place money can rent.

Thanks in advance.

My housebroken male dog has recently started urinateing in my home, any ideas on how to break him of this?

I am also concerned because he seems to be going on my 9 month old sons baby gate and blankets.

how do i get my dog to stop barking when i get home?

when i get home from school, my dog always gets excited and barks high pitch. i first gave hem a treat when ever i get home, it stops. but i think hes thinking that if he barks, he gets a treat. and thinks its a good thing. so i start not giving hem a treat and instead i roll up the newspaper and spanking hem lightly. He gets scared of it…but still wont stop? how can i get my dog to stop barking when i get home?

What is a good small dog breed for a home with cats (and possibly children someday)?

I am looking to bring a puppy into our family. We live in an apartment and have cats (all laid back and used to dogs) and while we will not have children in the immediate future, we definitely will ten years from now. We are looking for a small breed dog that characteristically is not aggressive. We plan to take the puppy to puppy classes and obedience, so I know that with work any small dog has potential. We just want to minimize the risk by choosing a breed that is predisposed to get along with other animals and children.

We would really like a chihuahua, but we’ve researched and read that they aren’t good with kids. However, we of course would raise our future children to be gentle and respectful with animals, so I was wondering if that would make a difference. I absolutely do not want a “teacup” animal, so if we were to choose a chihuahua it would be a larger sized one. I was just wondering if anyone here would have any feedback.
