Jack's doing well. We tried some "out in the living room" interaction. We kept all electronics off to minimize the stressors for him. He explored briefly and sat by my side, but only for a few minutes. As soon as he knew he was free to roam, he went right back to his spot in my room. I'll keep at it a little every day.
For people interested in Jack, he will need a lot of patience and time. While it may not seem noticeable to some, he has made more progress this week. He has left my room a few steps voluntarily; he looks up when I enter the room and approach him (he doesn't step away as much).
He still needs to be led to the x-pen so he can eat his meals, but he will go in and out for water access. We have yet to discover what he really likes for rewards to work on "real" training. It may be as simple as praise!
One thing I have determined is that he can be like a cat - he really likes to be rubbed/petted under his chin! :)
