Thank you for getting back to me so quick.I welcome any advice you or any one else can give me. Jake is fed on james wellbeloved turkey and veg we tried him on a natural diet (Laura from hands on paws did us a great diet sheet) but we found it too hard so he gets his dry feed watered down to a mush and he gets raw bones and raw mince sometimes.  When he meets people on walks we tell them not to touch him (and try and get Jake to sit but when he is nervous he struggles)  and if he’s not to up tight we give them a treat to hold on the palm of there hands which most of the time works but then they try and touch him and it all goes wrong and we panick which I know does not help. He doesnt trust adults to really touch him at all now but children can, so we tell them to stroke under his chin which he likes, except the children who live next door who he is really nervous of (and unfortunately head butted the youngest one the other day). He is nutered but I think I may have had it done too young. His mam was lovely , his dad was freindly but a bit aloof when we first met him but he was a stud and show dog who lived in posh out door kennel where as his mam was a pet. In the house we bring him out on the leader when we have the guests seated. When he knows the person I try and make him sit to greet but he is so strong and excited its hard to keep him still. I normally let him say hello to the guest and then sit on the floor with him some times giving him a toy to bring out helps. When the hands on paw girls came to meet him they threw treats at him until it built up his trust but we find it impossible to do that with every one. We do clicker trainging and i have tried  bar open bar closed sruff out of the culter clash book but when he is stressed all training seems to go out the window
