I believe they need a calm environment and lots of socialisation and learning experiences. In your case, lots of introductions to calm men who make him feel safe; calm children who don't get him over-excited and plenty of good training - they love to have things to do and to please you.) If he's a young dog, be warned that often they don't appear to be listening and learning, but around the 12 - 15 month age, suddenly the training kicks in. Persevere!

Going out for proper walks with all the chances to stop and sniff must have been a mite confusing at first, but he certainly looks like he's settling well, and such a relief he's OK with children.
