It sounds like your puppy may not have been socialized with humans before coming to live with you. If this is the case then it will take a more than a week for him to become accustomed to interacting with people. I recommend you work with a certified dog trainer or a veterinary behaviorist in your area to socialize your pup. You could also look into puppy training classes.
