It's an alternate universe. Everything you post/ask is possible and true, and all the comments go with it. Don't break immersion.

I've always been a giant spider person, but when my boyfriend convinced me to get a dinosaur, I thought "what the hell, it can't be that hard!'

However in the few months we've had him he's broken furniture, chased the mailman and even once attacked my neighbors giant spider.

How can I make him stop? Maybe it's the food? What can I feed him that isn't as high energy?

Ironically, my go-to answer for calming dinos down is "mailmen." Letting them chase and capture their own prey really calms them down and helps them burn off some energy. If that's an issue perhaps have them chase neighborhood dogs or cheetahs, if available. And, as always, make sure you put in plenty of play time! Depending on the breed, dinos need between half an hour and three hours of activity daily. Hope this helps!
