He's only 2 years old and never dine anything like this before and is lazy any help please.

Herbie it must be heart breaking to watch this, but in truth if the Vet is acting tomorrow then not sure what advice we could give - please do let us know how he gets on.

A very common neurological disorder but that doesn't make it any less distressing, training may help as well as trying to protect the dog from any stressful situations but in the short term very difficult to do anything. The vet will try to rule out epilepsy or seizures as a cause and will hopefully provide advice re training methods etc.
