He will be ok, introduce things slowly & see how he reacts. Cant believe that anyone would keep a dog shut up all this time. Watch for repetative behaviour- unless he's had exercise he will have some strange habits just to pass the time of day. Shadow chasing is a favorite- quite easy to deal with depending on how bad he his.

Do lots of lead walking & praise to build his confidence & try use a none aggresive docile dog to see how confident he is around other dogs.

It does take time but is rewarding when you reach another goal.

I have a jack that i took from similair circumstances about 5 years ago.He gradually settled but to this day he still circles if he gets excited or stressed and i have never been able to leave him on his own,it is just impossible and i am lucky that he can go to work with me.

wish you well with him,he'll come good in time a few rats might boost his confidence.

Get your mates to visit and give him a lump of cheese and run their hands on him like a judge would do in a show. socialise him as you would a pup. He will get better but probably never be 100% but thats no matter, makes them harder to nick if they wont go to strange people.

I still use harness & flexi lead with saluki I took on 3 mths ago. She's been running loose for 9 mths, she's getting better especially this last week. Seems to have really bonded with my male dog & they will now run & chase each other but then she switches off & dont take any notice of anything.

Using a flexi or lunge line -even cord washing line will give him a bit off freedom & you some control.

I use cooked liver & cheese work starting recall, not that Sal will take any notice of it unless she chooses to. Does he like toys? has he ever had them. Even rolling a ball in front of him may get him playing- Sal goes loopy-like she's picking up hot coal-throws it back on the floor & pounces on it. It's more finding out what makes them tick then working with it. He'll probably be ok, just need a bit of patience like others have said.
