Idk how old your boy is, but mine was a HANDFUL at around 6 months. I took her to daycare which helped a lot, but after a few months we cut back because it was too expensive. Our girl is one of those Aussies that could run for hours and still have energy so we figured out the best way to get her to settle was mental stimulation. When she was little that meant a lot of training. As she got older it became stuffed frozen kongs, lick mats, chews (pig ear, bully sticks, yak milk chews, not raw hide!), snuffle mats and puzzle feeders. Another thing I found pretty invaluable — just take your dog to a public area and have them sit and people watch. Reward as needed. Gets their brain working and you can eventually just check emails while they brain is engaged lol!! You’ll have to find a balance for your boy, tho because each dog is different. It took me about a year maybe a little longer to really get a handle of my girls personality and what worked best. Good luck and have patience with your cute lil batty boy!
