Boy comes up with genius way to train his puppy

One little boy decided to take a new approach while training his St. Bernard puppy and the photo of the interaction is going viral.

According to the Mirror, Daniel Lee Ball and wife Tasha's son Lincoln has severe allergies, including pollen, but was believed to have no allergies to animals.

Daniel's band Facebook page, The Ball Brothers, posted that doctors recommended for Lincoln to stay inside during allergy season.

"He walked out of the doctor's office as happy as could be and said, 'This means I can get a puppy!'"

So Lincoln and his four siblings Logan, Carter, and Briley got to take this little guy home.

Lincoln was told that he could look up puppy training tips on YouTube, and decided to let the puppy learn on its own.

The photo has gone viral, amassing more than 181,000 shares on Facebook.
