There is one other possibility that has nothing to do with illness, transitioning to new home or boredom. Has your dog been neutered? If not, he could be scenting the other dog(s), male and female, in the area giving him sexual urges he's totally unable to fulfill. I would heartily urge you to have him surgically, safely neutered so he can settle into his adult life much more comfortably - and responsibly, as most true doglovers agree that breeding dogs should be left to the few who know all about genetics, what dogs should NEVER be bred together and breed a pair of physically hardy, health-tested, temperamentally sound dogs for one single reason only - to improve the breed.
Everyone says we as a society the world over have frivolously overbred the poor canine to the point of silliness as we kill millions of them yearly in shelters or they are turned out to die all alone on their own so why make more?
