Hello, my name is Jaycee, I'm soon to be sixteen c: I'm from Oklahoma, I've lived in Ohio all my life, and I currently live in a city outside of Houston, Texas. I have one dog, though I help take care of my grandma's three, and his name is Kobe. He is a strong willed little rat terrier, and very smart. He loves to learn and just be with people. Although he is three, he has not been taught how to properly walk on a leash yet. He loves to pull in front. We're working on his leash walking, and then I will try to teach him off-leash walking and staying when I need to run into someone's house or a store quickly.
He knows a variety of tricks already, including;
-Sit
-Shake
-Bang (I point my finger like a gun and say 'bang!' and he falls over pretending to be dead)
-One kiss
-Stand up
-Dance
-Jump
-Sneeze
-Wag your tail
-Go lay down (For when he's in trouble or needs to calm down)
-Speak
-Drop it (doesn't always work for food items but he's very good at using it for toys)
-Get your toy/they're home (I say this in an excited voice when somebody comes home and he wags his tail and grabs a toy to show them)
He also really loves bottles. I bring them home for him almost every day. Soda bottles are best because when he plays with water bottles they make a loud noise that can become annoying. I also want to introduce him to clicker training, and maybe an agility course. He needs more activities to do, and he has separation anxiety so I make an effort to include him in all of my activities that I can. He seems to think he's a cat more than a dog, maybe he knows he has pointy ears and is smaller than other dogs
He loves cats, and doesn't fight with them, just licks them all over (not to the cat's enjoyment). I can go on and on about Kobe, so I hope to meet lots of friendly people and share tips and stories about Kobe!

GREAT start!!! Agility is an AWESOME mental and physical activity for both YOU and the dog. 
Flyball is also great. You can also try frisbee, if your dog loves toys/frisbees.
