If she is potty trained and your house is doggy safe I would let her have full run of the house. If not you can use baby gates and an exercise pen or even a baby play pen during the day. Maybe you should try tiring her out a bit before you start working like go for a nice walk, play fetch or something to burn some energy and then put her in your work room with you and a comfy bed and a few toys. You also might want to look into a kong that should keep he busy for a little while. Then maybe in the middle of your work day take a break and go for another walk or another thing that burns some energy. While I think all dogs need to learn how to entertain themselves some what mine in her 7 years has never been left alone but she also will sit and play with a toy or chew by herself or at my feet while I am doing something. Working there minds can tire them out to like do a dog puzzle or work on training things like sit and lay and then other tricks.
