Update. Some time has passed since I started this thread and fortunately so has our our situation. We followed the above advice and avoided all dogs when our dog was on a lead. Following a post op check up, vet then gave the go ahead for a short period off lead and, with supervision, and...

Thank you for taking the time to reply. All of what you’ve said makes so much sense. I’ve always thought that his initial behaviour was down to something that we had done or not. Your explanation adds a lot of clarity. That also for the diagrams.
