I commend you for not giving up, My suggestion is be patient with this guy, do less talking to him and more walking, do not enforce his fear by telling him its ok and petting him when he is afraid  this will only make it worse. If he hears a noise and gets scared ignore this behavior and continue to do what you were doing.  if hes running from you then I suggest a leash tied to your belt buckle of your pants and go about your chores with him in tow and ignoring his fearful behavior but def reward his confidence as he learns trust,  This will also help him pay attention to you always,  maybe he dont care for the treats.. string cheese is a good one  i bite peices off in my mouth and give during training.. let me know if you see results… and good luck
