Need advice on puppy training....?

I recently got a pit bull puppy who I love and adore, but cannot seem to control. She's about 5 months old and is just a bundle full of energy, which is to be expected. I don't obtain all that energy, so I can only manage a mile long walk, every other day. My main issue with her is her inability to just chillllllllllllllllll. I'd love for her to be able to sit and relax with me. But if I give her freedom, she'll sniff every friggin inch of the floor for scraps or dust balls. If I leash her, she whines and fights me. Not in an aggressive manner, but it's still rather frustrating. Also, I bought her this awesome $20 pillow for her comfort in the crate. Nice and plush, real cushiony. 10 minutes, it was shredded to bits. I've bought her expensive, yummy, chewy toys. But she gets bored with them easily. I've read into some solutions. It all just emphasizes encouraging positive behavior, discouraging the negative. Ugh. Not enough. Any tips would be much appreciated.
