My best was when we got my first dog Stich. The way we got him was my mom had a friend that their dog had puppies so my mom called her and asked if we could have one because my mom knew a wanted a dog.So we meet them half way at a gas station when we got him he was a big dog for his age he still is. We got him a red ball he still plays with it now some times it goes over the fence into are nabors yard so then i have to get it. The way we traned him with one of those shock collors so if he got out of the yard he would know to come back he only got out one time.
