Take a look into grid training for the potty training... Puppies chew and this is one way to avoid confetti puppy pads. I like this system because you can use both inside and outside after they figure it out... There are some posts on it in the training section. I listed a huge description of my homemade grid in a post called "WizDog & UGO DOG"

I have the craziest little energizer bunny at home... sometimes we even joke that he's the energizer bunny on steriods. These are some things that help:
-Get potty trained consistently spend a huge amount on it, so that when they are confined you can give them more room.
-Play fetch all the time...
-I like the toy remote car suggestion, by BF just plays chase a few times a day, where he runs around the house and Harley chases and barks... it's so cute too
-WALKS lots of them... Every day, and a few times a day. Destruction occurs because of boredom.
-LOTS of socialization with people and other dogs. Harley has two "big brothers" that we get together at least twice a month, and a huge small dog group that also gets together monthly. It teaches a lot of manners, like not biting, how to play etc. and it allows them time to burn energy. When I get to Dexter & Newton's house and let Harley off leash, he goes nutts for like an hour, and then crashes.

Good luck. Welcome to the energizer bunny club!
