Nice photos! Some day maybe he'll star in his own commercial, if he keeps learning all these cool behaviors. :)

Tell us about yourself: I am in New York State. Got my first DS about 14 years ago (more or less as a rescue- lost her in Nov.). After years of GSD's, and a few dogs of other breeds (Rotti/Beauceron/Ger. Shorthaired Pointer/ Yorkie and my current Jack Russell) I now have another DS, 4mo female, no name yet, tho I have a few in mind.
Also have a horse-old quarter horse mare-32.

I actually named Marco after the famous Dutch soccer player Marco Van Basten. Other names I considered were Ruud (Gullit) and Johan (Cruyff). :mrgreen:

This is for all of us who get sometimes frustrated with the training progress. Look at the bright side - at least our dogs don't embarrass us on national television :mrgreen:

And this dog is worse than Fenton, although the humans don't deserve any better. Just give the dog the soccer ball, geez

Geeze, you're so right...all they had to do was give him the darn ball and get him off the field.
