I have an 8 month old, male, toy pomeranian. He barks a lot that its stressing me out bc the neighbors started to complain. when i take him out he starts barking like crazy and the whole building can hear him, on he street hes the only thing being heard. At home when someone comes he barks his lungs out. It becoming very stressful, please help me. Ive tried everything besides the electric collar that shocks him when barking. thats the last resource but i dont want him to hurt.

I have two female beagle pups, they are from the same litter. We got both of them at close to four months of age, and they were doing good at house-training until recently. Lately it seems that they both have regular pee accidents in the house mostly in the evenings. They will go several times within an hour. We can't figure out why they are going so frequently or what to do in order to get them to let us know they need to go out at these times. They will let us know at other times. Please help!!
