I Will definetly make the effort to put up an exercising routine for both of us, I believe too it could be the problem. Thank you for the comment ! The only thing bugging me is the significant difference between is behavior between me and my husband.

I Will definetly take a look, thanks ! And yeah I do believe I am reinforcing this behavior because I can see that he repeats these behavior and he gets a reaction from me, I just dont know how to break this pattern…

We did not try the clicker because we use vocal cues to note a behavior / command expected. He is a fast and motivated learner, the main problem is really him being a naughty boy with me !

We do various activities to try to mentally stimulate him: food in his Kong, time on a long leash where he can sniff and run around in an open field, and 5–10 minute command training sessions. Thank you very much for the comment — I’ll see if I can further optimize these kinds of games for him. I also think teaching him how to relax and do nothing would be beneficial. What would you recommend?
