i would hate to get a dog from a rescue organisation that had you as a staff member/volunteer. shoving a dog's head in a hole filled with water, shoving their nose in their own shit, etc. does not teach a dog that what they did was wrong. if you worked so long with dogs (as i have) you would know that their memories are not long enough to remember what you're punishing them for. all it teaches them is to fear you. these are punishments that only reinforce bad behaviour. 
baddog, you mentioned the one thing that i've ever tried and seen work outside of exercising the dog until he's dog-tired.  you have a high energy dog breed, have you taught him frisbee yet/gone to dog beach? i bet he's a natural!
