whe nyou walk her maybe go to the park and do some fun exercises with her like teach her some tricks, play fetch or anything else she just really needs alot of exercise since she is a big dog.
Well, if she's bored around the house, you need to get her more toys and play with her more.
I would suggest two short walks (15 min. each, morning and afternoon) and in the middle of the day, one long run. You don't have to run, but like, toss a ball or a stick for her, somewhere secured and safe. Unless you can teach her to "gait" while you jog. That should help her, too, but it's up to you. You don't have to jog.
Yes you need to walk her more. She has enough energy to go for hours and hours. If walks aren't cutting it, she will need a place to run offlead safely. Maybe consider doing a dog sport like agility.
