New dog settling in well and learning quickly this week

I picked up New Dog on Monday, so I’ve had him nearly a week now.

He's shy/worried with new things, but since I’ve had him, he can now:
go up the stairs
go up the steps to the bed
get in and out of the car
jump on and off a style
come to his name and to a weird recall noise I make

He’s enjoyed walks, a couple of days at a dog show and a new, improved diet!

He’s 2.5 nearly and so bright!

Awww, he's lovely. Did he come from a rescue? He looks like a friend's dog, she carries hers around in a special doggie backpack!

Yes, he was surrendered to them after his owner died.
He’s lovely and has slotted in with my existing (rather particular and sometimes grouchy) dog, better than I could have expected!

Lucky lad! Sounds like he’s stolen your heart already. Gorgeous photo!
