Try filling his mind to help with the boredom: Save toilet rolls to fill with treats and kibble, much like a Kong. My dogs love it when they see me with a handful of rolls, and the torture of sitting watching me chopping up stuff (cheese, roast beef etc to mix in with kibble) folding and filling is all part of their impulse control training. Even paper towel rolls would be fun to full and keep him busy getting the goodies out.
Mine would eat the cardboard, haha, but he does enjoy when I put enrichment treats together. We have a little, hollow rubber "iceberg" for freezing, so I'll fill it with things like pumpkin, pepper, strawberries, apples, whatever's on the menu and then give it to him. He quite enjoys it, though last time he took some chunks out of the rubber, whoops. He's a "maximum destruction chewer", so I've got to be on top of taking certain toys out of his reach once we are done with their intended purpose.Another easy game if you could is just standing in a spot he wouldnt jump on you and throwing a piece of his food. He goes and finds it then you throw another. It would tire him out.
He also has a rubber pinecone. It's got the little petal things on the outside, and the inside has a rudimentary "trickle dispenser" system of small shelves so that treats can come out slowly. I've smeared pumpkin and banana on the outside, sometimes I freeze it, then I put either broken up treats or kibble on the inside. He doesn't like eating food out of the dirt on the ground, so it's a great toy for when he has to be in the crate for longer (due to rain, heat, whatever).
The only problem I have with these toys is that they are "too small".
