Ruffwear harnesses have been worth the money over a generic one on Amazon in my experience. We normally use the Front Range for day hikes or camping trips, it's simpler then some of the others so it's easy to get on him but it's been strong enough to hold his ~120lb weight briefly to help him up/down a steep ledge. Not sure what you mean by good in the water but he swims in it pretty regularly and it dries out overnight no problem.
Instead of a walk in the morning, could you run with him? Or ride a bike? That would help tire him out more. I got the Tuff Mutt hands-free leash and I LOVE it. It has made running SO much easier. I also got the Ruffwear front range harness because my dog pulls like a madman and I wanted something with enough padding in the chest. My two complaints about the hands-free leash are that 1) the material is kind of slick, so the loop that clips around your waist will loosen frequently and need to be readjusted, and 2) if your dog lunges after something or changes directions suddenly, it'll feel like someone punched you in the gut.
Like you, I also leave my dog with a variety of treats like a kong, a stuffed marrow bone, and a holee roller ball with long/wide treats in it. I also started giving him these calming treats. He really does not like the taste and spits them out unless I cover them in peanut butter. I have no idea if the treats have much of an impact (the reviews are very mixed) or if the running does more to tire him out, but I will definitely say that the running + calming treats + puzzle toy combo has been perfect for my dog. He's basically knocked out the entire 9.5 hours I'm gone.
