<human>: He's a Boston Terrier-Beagle mix and he's driving me insane.

He has fixation issues and will never leave something be if he wants it bad enough. I will have to hide something for days for him to stop looking for it. 

He will chase his tail about 4-5 times a day. During each time he chases his tail for a solid hour and intermittently he will gnaw on his foot out of frustration.  

He does it everywhere, on the hard-wood floors, (so I hear his clicka-claka of his little nails the whole time) on the couch, (he eventually falls off or spills over into my lap because he becomes oblivious to his surroundings) and when I try to take him out (makes his #2s look like a Jackson Pollock). 

I don't want to get rid of him because he is just too cute, but I am worried for my sanity.

I was wondering if any of you have similar problems? Any advice?

Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?
<bot>: Dog driving me nuts with his incessant hunt for tail. Fed up (but still love him). How to make him stop?!
