Oh geez...he must be driving you a little !!!

Have you tried long walks/runs and working his brain? Honestly, if you can work him hard mentally, that will help...a LOT!

You can use the time to develop his nose outside the under-the-cup treat. Mine loves object searches as much as searching for food. (He downs when he finds the object; he was first taught to tap with his paw, but when I started placing things in high places or deep inside something, I replaced it with a down.)

It uses mental and physical energies. I plan mine out to keep the momentum going once we start. He finds it truly satisfying when we do big time blocks of it.

Poor dude. I agree with the long walks and brain exercises.
Good time for training to keep him occupied.
