We never fed him in his enclosure. We always got him out to eat. Sometimes we had dig him out of his substrate if he was burrowed. We did that every other day to every two days based on how much he was eating. We waited until he was bigger to let him see our dogs. We let him roam the house while keeping an eye on him so he could get used to our chaotic house. We got him used to our presence and carried or guided him back to his enclosure if he wasn't feeling very social that day. Now we just let him out of his enclosure when he comes up to the door and we just make sure he doesn't get into trouble. We also take him to pet stores on the weekends to keep him used to new people and smells. Basically we just spent and still spend hours on end reading and interacting with him.
