Notable
Marcus is a former soccer player who brings great athleticism and speed into the Agility ring. However, he feels like his athleticism and speed can be an asset and a liabilty. "Sometimes, when I'm handling my dog, I get to places that I don't need to be. Sometimes, I get in HER way."
Quotable
"Coming from Obedience, athleticism was not a strong point. You don't have to run in Obedience, but you certainly do in Agility. I thought that might be an advantage for me. That's not the only reason I got involved in Agility though. It's fun and something athletic for both me and my dog."
