Dogs do not generalize at all. So not only may he not actually know what is expected of him he may not have been trained enough to have them working effectively. Add in he has been fixed and rehomed and the stress on this poor little one is through the roof.
He needs to get the basics placed on him with love and respect and positive so he learns to trust and interact with his people.
He wants to understand his world and right now he is just very confused and upset and gentle guidance an support will help him get stable.
And someone actually trained to work with special needs dogs needs to come give him a hand to understand what is going on in his world.
