Hi Daniel and welcome

Maybe try giving him food treats to hunt,also has he been neutered,as if he hasn't this will encourage his need to be out,as he has natural urges to compete for local moggie girls and protect his turf so to speak,don't give up on him just yet though,he sounds like a real character but as with human kids sometimes you have to be patient and manipulate to make for a happy slave..with him believing it's all on his terms and it can be done
