EFFICIENT LOAD CARRYING: The Approach Pack features a weight-forward saddlebag design that provides your dog with a comfortable method to carry the essentials for your trip. The pack's convenient, easy-access stash pockets are perfect for often used items and the capacity is ideal for overnight adventures.COMFORTABLE AND DURABLE: The Approach's streamlined design and lightweight materials and components allow for comfortable fit and long-term durability. The padded, comfortable handle offers an optimal balance point with good load dispersion for controlled and comfortable lifting (lift only as high as your dog can safely jump, as the buckles are not strength-rated for high-angle rope work).INTEGRATED HARNESS AND REFLECTIVE TRIM: The Approach's integrated harness features provide for leash walking (clip in via the V-ring), lifting (via the handle), and pulling (via the tow eye). The integrated, reflective trim allows you to keep an eye on your dog, even in low-light visibility environments.NON-SLIP STRAPS AND SHELTERED BUCKLES: The Approach's non-slip girth straps are easy to adjust, secure, and have pads to distribute load and increase comfort while lifting. The sheltered buckles stay in place for easy, one-handed clipping, and are protected from wear. 5 points of adjustment allow you to create a customizable fit specifically for your dog enabling a full range of motion.APPPROACH PACK SIZING: The Approach Pack is available in 5 sizes (see images for sizing chart): XX-Small: 13-17 inches (33-43 cm); X-Small: 17-22 inches (43-56 cm); Small: 22-27 inches (56-69 cm); Medium: 27-32 inches (69-81 cm); Large/X-Large: 32-42 inches (81-107 cm).

Aww. Glad they were so generous about it.
Here's some unsolicited chewing dog advice. Take it or leave it.
With a dog that loves to chew, here's a few recommendations and a blog that is really great for hyper / anxious / chewy dogs. Goes without saying if you're already doing these things then keep on keeping on.

All this is a recipe for a less chewy dog. If they're tired both mentally and physically and are confident, unwanted behaviors like chewing and barking generally decrease.

As the others mentioned.. Ruffwear
I have the one I linked for my Jack Russell.. GREAT pack!
Hey I have a pitbull/boxer mix and many of the things you're saying about Jax seem similar to what I went through when I adopted Marty.
Regarding walks/energy levels, invest in a backpack. I was never able to tire Marty out. We'd go hiking for 4-5 miles, running, 3 walks a day, etc and he'd never get tired. I got him a backpack (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B2KAACK/ref=sr_ph?ie=UTF8&qid=1425671232&sr=1&keywords=dog+backpack) and put it on and fill it with water and such whenever we go on a walk just for some added weight (and to make him feel like he's working). His energy level is still high, but a nice hike or run with the pack on is enough to calm him down a ton.
Have fun. Here's a good pack if you want your dog to share the load:

Sure! Note, it's pricey, but 100% worth it in my case.
Here's the harness I wear
And here's the leash
And then my dog is wearing this backpack
Looks to be the Ruffwear Approach. I have the same pack for my Golden and it's great.
