Haven't posted anything for a while so thought I would just update how Achilles our new family member is getting on, it is still a slow process to get him feeling less anxious when outside the house but he is slowly getting better, we are able to treat train him now which is a big step for him he wasn't interested in treats when out for a long while, I'm walking him three times a day for around 30mins each time it's still difficult to get him to walk in places that are new to him struggles to cope with strange places, working very hard with our trainer and slowly making progress, he walks well on a long leash in places he knows and has started to do investigation sniffing which is something he didn't do a few weeks ago, we are going to do some socialising with another dog this coming Thursday which will be at the dog activity field we go to every week, he is such a joy to have at home such a loving gentle boy and absolutely loves his weekly trip to the activity play field where he can be a dog, he runs and plays for an hour it's great to see him running flat out without restrictions, it's a pity every time we go there it's been raining or very wet he doesn't care but takes ages to get him washed down before putting him in the car.
