He likes the kiddie swimming pool on my deck too. He will sit for you and comes when he is called. Marley is a really good listener. He sleeps in his crate at night with no accidents. He is doing very well with pottying. You take him outside and he knows just what to do but we still monitor him in the house closely too. He is still learning. We are learning to shake hands and he is doing pretty good with that. He walks very well on his leash. He loves his walks. He lives with my 3 kids and he loves them. He is not too rough with them at all. He does have a laid back mannerism as well. He would be a really good pet for kids. My daughter named him from the movie "Marley and Me" of course. Marley has a solid build so he will be a strong boy when full grown. He is just a lovebug! We fostered his brother Cooper and Cooper is now on trial with a family. Marley really needs a family of his own too. Will you be the ones to love on him for the rest of his life. He gives the sweetest kisses!
