Hi Angela,
Loads of sensible questions! It would help if you joined so that you can asnwer the questions you'll undoubtedly be asked, so that we can give the right advice!
Does your dog use a crate? If so, that would be ideal in the tent.
In what way is he boisterous? How old is he? Labradors are an active breed, but given enough to do, usually calm down a bit by the time they are about 8 years old!
Good, silent toys? Kongs are about the best.
:)
