Excellent solution for an adult dog with closed growth plates, but not for an 8 month puppy that's only going to be with the OP for five days.

To the OP - glad to hear she's calming down! Sometimes it takes awhile for them to adjust to new surroundings. :)

If you behave calm, and don't encourage the wildness, you should be able to correct it somewhat.
Puppys at 8 months do need quite a bit of exercise, but you don't want to over-do it either. 5 days is not a lot of time to fix anything, especially not if the owner hasn't done much on their own.
