My dog was just coughing, wheezing, and threw up what looked like white foam...?
he is a 2 year old Min Pin and has an appointment for shots tomorrow at 5:30PM (they are a bit overdue unfortunately). He wheezed for about 2 minutes, threw up a little white foam, then continued coughing until he saw a dog and was distracted. He immediately ran inside and just fell asleep.
I'm wondering if I should take him to a vet right now or just wait for his appointment tomorrow.

He is probably OK to wait until tomorrow. He does not seem like he is in distress now, but just keep an eye on it. As long as he can breathe OK, it is not an emergency. Rather if the coughing and wheezing continue it could be a sign of kennel cough which you need to bring to the attention of the vet.
The foam is probably because he was coughing so much and not anything to worry about unless there is blood.

There are a few real keys to dog training, whether you are trying to train your dog to come when called, sit, stop barking or any other behavior. Understanding their importance is critical to achieving rapid results that are long lasting and help develop the bond between you and your dog. Read more here https://biturl.im/aUAsI
The first is simple; you must win your dogs mind. If you don't achieve this first then you will be struggling the all the way. When I talk about winning your dogs mind what I really mean is that your dog looks to you for all the decisions. Before you do anything else watch one of the amazing video sites that show you the 5 Golden rules to establishing yourself as the pack leader. If you aren't putting these in place then you are setting yourself up to fail. Just at the crucial point where you really want your dog to listen they will go and do their own thing. For sure your dog may play ball occasionally or even most of the time, you may even have a dog that is obedient 99% of the time, however if you want a dog who always listens to you and does as you ask then you need to win your dogs mind.
The second key to success is to motivate your dog. It is really important that you discover what it is that your dog enjoys both in terms of exercise and play but also in terms of a reward. If you can make the experience enjoyable then you will both achieve more and look forward to training.
Some dogs love to fetch, others love agility, and other dogs simply love obedience training, or swimming out into water and retrieve. At least to start with find out what your dogs love is and help them develop this, what I am saying is work with your dog. The other point to recognize is to make training enjoyable reward your dog.

It's his allergies. My small dog gets like that for two reasons 1. she gets overly excited (p.s when I told the vet about the wheezing/goose sound I was told it was a lung condition that will effect the dog down the road once they are older-- she's roughly 6 yrs old and is fine.) reason 2. is allergies. Because they are low to the ground they pick all the allergens low to the ground. I use children's liquid Benadryl-- it works wonders!
