These are great tips, Haopee! I think people forget that dogs need some sort of stimulation in their day.
I know there is a difference with Misha on days when she doesn't get enough exercise and days she does. She becomes like a child who bothers you all day. Luckily, it doesn't take much to keep her satisfied. A 20 minute walk in the morning, a little playing with her toys, her treat balls, and stalking family members in the kitchen usually does the trick.
If she sees particularly restless, I just do a little back to basics training with her. She'll do anything for a piece of dog food.
