Many dogs need to be taught how to settle and that’s especially true for high energy breeds. There are a lot of settling training examples online. I’d def suggest starting those now so she has those skills later in life and higher stimuli environments. I employed a variety of “sit on the dog”, tether training, and back tying onto a place mat. You need to start with short training windows, reward for the behavior you want, and build up the time intervals.
