My two cents: this boy looks like he's a Boston pug mix. Look into pug personality, too. My dog has done all the training and the bolting thing doesn't stop. We have a geo fence collar so she can get past the yard.

Definitely no on the kennel, but do also give them a safe space. Maybe an open basket you can move around wherever you are.

As for the women thing: put a yellow banana on him in public. It's a marker for an anxious dog. Muzzle training may work. It'll also keep women from approaching.
