High energy is normal for puppies, but she needs to get enough play time in so that she doesn't become bored and destructive. High energy intelligent dogs are at risk of turning their energy and smarts into chewing, digging, barking, separation anxiety, etc. If you can have a friend come by to play with her in the middle of the day, or a dog walking service or a doggie-daycare arrangement, she will be much happier in the long run. Also, make sure she has plenty of toys to keep her amused when you're not around to keep her busy. One of the best in the Kong toy, which is very rugged and stands up to a lot of play and chewing. Consider getting her a slow feeder or puzzle feeder to make even her mealtimes a chance for mental stimulation. Play with her as much as you can, spend weekends going out, to the dog park, hikes, long walks, whatever it takes to make her mind and body tired to keep her happy and out of trouble. Good luck!
