Really need to work out what set of actions gets the right result.
Have you tried waking up early and taking him for say a 5+ mile walk first thing?
It is a cliche and obviously not the only solution for every dog, but in my experience 'a tired dog is a good dog' works pretty well

Actually yes!
Because he's so damn skinny as a rescue, we're making sure his muscle mass returns before going for the insane-long walks.
I walk him for an hour or so once he has time to digest breakfast.
So far walking him for an hour, plus a run about near the squirrels, plus a play, and he'd not switch off.
Give him a big bowl of food, boom, sleepy boi.

This asshole is hungry and bored all the time.
This was yesterday after feeding AND 1.5hours of playing. He gave up licking liver paste because it was too difficult, and eventually retired to his crate.
Yo-yo training is hit and miss. He doesn’t care if you go upstairs or leave him alone especially if already fed… but even well-fed and walked, he won’t let you leave the house and lock the door behind you.
Stay in? Sleeps for hours.

Also, he’s still very bite-y when I leave him with the OH. She hasn’t learned to be a strong voice yet, but leaves the room until he calms down.
