Catching a ball is one of the hardest things to teach our children. In this video, Skottke, the German Shepherd, is showing everyone exactly what NOT to do to catch a ball!
The video is a compilation of his many failures at trying to catch a tennis ball. There are at least a dozen attempts to catch the ball and all end the same way, the ball on the ground and Skottke standing there surprised he missed! But, you know the saying about practice makes perfect – right?
Well, wait until the end. The timing is there, the reflexes are sharp, and Skottke makes his one and only catch! Success! That is all you need, just one success in a pile of failures to feel like you have accomplished something! Not everyone is a born athlete. German Shepherds are working dogs – not sporting dogs!
