im no big dog expert but i do a bit and i find that bitches settle into work quicker (not always the case).i would let it see another experianced dog running so it can have a look,iv just got back from lamping now and we took a 9month pup and he is very much the same as your pup by the sounds of it,i dont normally lamp out of season but we have just got a 3yr old bitch of a guy on here and she has been in kennel since last september and very unfit so we are just gettin her running again for the new season,very keyne but hopfully your pup will calm down really soon,best of luck with him!!
