and wrassle with him a little bit.
Also, teach him to not bite too hard. I taught my dog what "ow" means and she knows to back off. And "no" means "to let go of what you are biting on".

It's great fun. Also, he might be into fetching/tug of war. I have a squeaky toy shaped like a bone that various dogs have loved to chase. When I caught a biggish dog that was wandering my neighbourhood, I played fetch for a while to help wear him out (so it would be safer for me to put him on a leash).

He probably needs another young dog to play with - maybe a dog park.
