Hahaha! Well I'm still working on my 2008 resolutions so you're way ahead of me. My dog (Echo) is doing great - other than pulling on the tether. But OMG - the energy - and so smart! I work from home so several times a day he'll come in my office and just look at me and cry - like "let's play". Mother guilt never goes away, I guess! He's very quiet - have only heard him bark a couple of times. I have a snuffle mat that he enjoys - maybe get him engrossed in that before you walk out the door. He also LOVES those toys that laugh and shake https://www.amazon.com/Hyper-Pet-Doggie-Wiggly-Interactive/dp/B0054C9B1I/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=3IFABC6GU5T7A&keywords=interactive+dog+toys&qid=1570510557&sprefix=interactive%2Caps%2C367&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExMFpTV0ozQldMTFhRJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMzA0MzY1MVlaWlFRSDVIUEk4UyZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMDIzNjE3MkhWUEhWNTgzM1VXJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ== . I live right on the river and near the mountains so he gets quite a lot of exercise - although we're a little more cautious as it is bear season here! I took him to the ocean for the first time last weekend and he absolutely loved that as well. He is learning how to catch (and not eat) a frisbee as well. And yes - I'm exhausted. Cat people have it so easy..... ;)
Hyper pet doggie tail - it's a bouncing, noise making dog toy.

LambChops are just the right size for doxies. After our dog took to one we bought a bunch of them.
Another great toy is the Doggy Tail. It's powered by batteries and makes little doggy noises.
here are toys that simulate this a bit...
Maybe this thing? http://www.amazon.com/Hyper-Pet-Doggie-Wiggling-Interactive/dp/B0054C9B1I/ref=pd_sim_petsupplies_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=1G23R7SE7JQDFC57Z114
Two things that saved me my first few months:
She's still obsessed with the second. It is so great for getting her attention focused on something (but is loud, just to warn you). Anytime she's ancy and I can't play with her, I let her play with the tail. If you keep it away from them and give it to them at certain points, it'll hold their attention better.
Good luck!
I have had the same issue. I adopted a Australian Shepherd who lived most of his life in shelters. It is so sad that he can't play yet. When I fist got Timber he couldn't even enjoy being touched. It's been a long road. I can recommend two things whole-heartedly:
I'm also playing a game - that I hope doesn't make me sound like a slob - my house is clean - I promise. But I get small treats that he really loves (cut up franks or cheese cubes) and I throw them in the house and he egg him on to run and chase them - he loves it - and I'm hoping to parlay this into fetch with a ball/frisbee. It takes a while but so rewarding to see them make little strides in 'dogging'. Good luck - please share a photo of your pup!

ETA: I'd also love to hear other advice/strategies!
So if /u/CiElBie is right, that would explain a lot about your dog's behavior, haha.
Have you tried a front-connecting harness, like the Easywalk, Sense-ible, or Kurgo Journey harnesses? Those have proven extremely helpful in redirecting our dog on walks and teaching him not to tug.
You can also get him some puzzle toys. You put treats in them and they keep your dog occupied. Treats can be peanut butter, yogurt, wet food, and frozen fruit/veggies. These would be my recommendations: Westpaw Tux, Busy Buddy Squirrel, Planet Dog Orbee-tuff Snoop, Kong Wobbler (dry food only), Starmark Everlasting Wheeler, Orbee-tuff Produce, GoofBall.
Mental stimulation is another big thing. If you haven't already, familiarize yourself with the basics of clicker training (Kikopup is a fantastic resource). Then you can teach all kinds of fun tricks, which will engage your dog, encourage bonding, and tire him out mentally, which is very important for dogs with working dog ancestry. Examples of tricks can be paw, beg, roll over, twirl (dance), touch, jump (if his health allows it - no more than 10 minutes of jumping training at a time), weave (dog weaves between your legs), army crawl, bow, and so on. Just 15 to 20 minutes of mental stimulation can really tire out a dog, so I strongly recommend this if your dog is super hyper!
Other interactive toys. Flirt poles are great, and can be good for reinforcing drop it because the dog is rewarded immediately with more playtime. I would also encourage giving all meals either as training treats or in large puzzle toys (I highly recommend Nina Ottosson toys: Tornado, Dog Smart, Twister, Casino, Brick. Make sure to supervise your dog while using these toys, since they won't be as durable as the rubber toys I recommended above). My dog also LOVES this funny squirrel toy; it moves around and makes funny noises-- I think he believes it's a real squirrel! This is the Amazon link, and again for this I'd recommend supervision because I don't know it's that durable.
I might also recommend extending one of your walks to 1.5 to 2 hrs by combining two of the daily walks together into one long walk-- this might exhaust your dog more, as opposed to multiple shorter walks a day. This really depends on your dog, though; give it a try but I can't guarantee it'll work. Do ensure that the long walk takes place at approximately the same time each day, so he knows when his "big playtime" is and learns to relax throughout the rest of the day. For the whining at outside stimuli, perhaps invest in a white noise machine or loud box fan, which will help your dog relax at home.
Best of luck, hope this is helpful!!
