Use his dinner for regualr training exercises. High value rewards for toilet training, socialisation exercises, work on desensitisation & counterconditioning or for reeeeeeally difficult work. If you start out with the really good stuff for basics then what do you go for when you need the big guns - that's why some people end up using the smelliest treats (e.g. sardines, liver etc.) for basic exercises.

Get the entire family and as many other people involved in training. This will help with socialisation and speed up generalisation.
