Doggy day care might be worth a go
We send Bosco and it knackers him right out.
We use it if we are going to be travelling or having people round, day care the day before will make him mucho tired.
It is also good for socialisation

Just to add a counter-point to this, our fairly highly-strung adolescent has not responded well to daycare/group walks the few times we've tried. It seems to raise his adrenalin levels to the point that the following 24 hours are a painful process of decompression with barking and an inability to settle etc. Apparently the deerhound genes bring a particularly sensitive adolescence but very much hoping he is growing out of this as we speak.

We send peanut to daycare once a week and you'd think it was prison you were sending him too he hates going.

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.
