9 month old golden retriever randomly jumping up and biting on walks

Our golden retriever has been perfect puppy, walking 3 times a day with 60% being off lead. This last couple of weeks he has started jumping up and biting overstimulated on walks. It has gotten worse and worse to the point now when it starts as soon as i leave my front door. He is becoming un walkable.

He is 9 months old and 36kg.

We have tried getting him to sit and reset which he sits then just attacks again

We have tried ignoring him or facing the other way, he just carries on and as he is so big is hard to ignore

Tried distracting him with “find it” with treats, will either ignore or find the treats then attack again

Tried picking him up, he calms right down and then put him down and he goes again

Tried walking in different places/ routes but he still does it

Tried different leads/ collar / harness. We have just bought an extendable to see if the bit of freedom helped but it hasn’t

Today he was doing it so i had to pick him up put him in dog park for his walk, he was good in the dog park and only tried twice which i distracted him by throwing a stick, as soon as we got out and i put him on lead to walk to the car he did this
