I rescued him nearly a year ago and he is making great improvements. He was a stud dog for a NC breeder. They let him go because they decided to keep two females he sired.

Thank you. Achilles seems to be very happy now and is surprisingly willing to learn. He had zero obedience training when I rescued him and was standoffish around new people except myself. He now knows "Come" and "Stay" without any hesitation, will "Sit," "Lay Down," and will Yodel to be let out to eliminate. He is also doing much better around people. He was initially very protective of me and his personal space and would hackle at new people. Now he sniffs and will allow others to pet him after he decides they are alright. That being said, he has been exceptional around small children. Although I am extremely vigilant when children are around, he has had no issues and seems genuinely enthused to play.
