I'm out of my league with this guy but I can second the whole removing the human element from training for awhile. I don't talk to the snappy little things who are very sensitive to touch. I just give treats long enough to establish that I'm not going to make any sudden grabs and then mark me touching them with throwing the food or giving it to them. Not as precise as a clicker but they seem to pick it up real fast. I introduce my voice later and reward them for staying close. Hard with a dog that's not food/toy motivated though.
You said he's mildly interested in what the other dog plays with. Can they tie a bed sheet or something into a huge bite rag and then play tug with the other dog? There should be enough fabric left over for him to feel free to grab, stand on it, whatever he wants to do without having to get close to the human. Keep it slow and low key. If he grabs the toy just ignore him.
