I do have a question on how to re- teach him sit and down. He knew the difference before the bad experience and now he just looks at me like i don't know what you want me to do. should i just focus on sitting for a couple days and then work on down for awhile and then mastering that --work on both in the same training session. Or should i just keep mixing them up in the same training and not work on them individually.
when he first sees me his ears are down.... i want him to be happy to see me. after a few seconds he warms up to me tho.
Last night we were kicking and chasing the kick ball. It is hard to get the ball past him ....he is a good defender to stop the ball. but he got his tooth on the ball and popped the rubber ball. he kept trying to get it to roll with his nose and feet. He looked like he had lost his best friend. I will get him another ball so we can continue playing together. It is so fun to watch him move the ball around.

Then I'd work on "sit" first, using treats, and then if you haven't done it yet, perhaps teach him the "watch" cue that has been described on several threads here. You hold a treat between your eyes and teach him to look at you for cues. I'd teach "down" separately and after he's mastered "sit". Make the training sessions fun and brief and he'll do just fine. The most important thing is to go slowly now.
