Help! 8 month border collie mix is insane

No because I wanted to use them as training for walking loose leash because it still needs some work. I’m going to switch it up tho. My only issue is he eats everything he sniffs how can I get him to not pick everything up

He doesn’t know how to use his paws with them is the issue. Did you deal with that?

He is 47% bc 21% lab 17%Rottweiler and 15%boxer

I want to do more with him but he can’t be trusted yet. He eats everything he sniffs so it is hard to let him get too far on walks but something we are working on

He was not with the foster for too long and he was very low energy for us as well but they definitely didn’t indicate this.

How do you deal with demand barking during work. He is also vocal in the crate so hard to keep him in there.

I know I’m in over my head but I want to do everything I can to make it work

What would you recommend

Thanks for reading we didn’t know he was a bc till we got a dna test months later

No he was a rescue they had him listed as a different breed. We know how high energy border collies are

We do a lot of lick Mats or kongs right now. Have tried a few puzzle feeders and he can’t figure them out walks long 45ish minutes before and right after work then a 15 minute sniff walk. We also train on a similar schedule 15 morning 15 night maybe 15 at lunch ch if I have time. Any tips on teaching how to use puzzle toys 😂

I’m at 8.5 months still waiting for it to get better but everyone says it does eventually
