At 2, he should be calming down unless he has developed a habit he likes. In that case, he will need behavior modification. If they keep him as active as you say by spending that kind of time with him, he should be well acclimated to basic training commands. Failing doggy daycare should be a "professional's" opinion (or outside source) on his behavior and thier opinion should not be taken lightly in my opinion. A dog that is walked as much as you say he is should also be pretty well socialized, so a behaviorist may be needed in his case.
