Answer
I wouldn't allow him off leash until he has a lot more training. A good positive-based class might be very valuable to you, and really help your relationship with him. He's young, he's been through a lot, and he's probably not even really sure that he's not just in an other temporary situation. Some dogs can take up to a year to realize that they really are "home". So be patient, be fair. Don't ask more of him than he's actually been trained to do, and he'll come around. Sandy Case BFA, MEd CPDT www.positivelycanine.com
