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!

Oh he's beautiful, you're both very lucky to have found each other. It sounds like he's going to fit in nicely, I'm glad your other dog accepts him.
