I DON'T have experience with dogs, but do with cats and yes, some are much, much, much more active than others and cat with cat ADHD can be a challenge too.

Absolutely a must!!!!

This dog requires maybe a job to help him overcome some of his energy. Did you think of agility?
This dog, like my very overactive fosters or Jasper, need a LOT of exercise and stimulation to poop them out. Agility training would be an excellent way to stimulate and exercise this dog . What a great alternative to jogging. Great idea, BenMax

I, personally, would love to have a dog to jog with, perhaps a neighbour who jogs may be willing to take your pup with him/her? All you would need is a long leash that can be wrapped around the waist. It would be bonus if this person was willing to do some training too .
