German Shepherds are athletic dogs. They like running, playing,
chasing balls, jumping hurdles and many other activities. They enjoy
having a "job" to do and love nothing more than working for their
rewards. This is why they are such a versatile breed, excelling in obedience, herding,
retrieving, agility, or service work. Working obedience with your dog on a daily
basis (even the couch potato variety!) and giving the dog a physical and mental
work-out will direct the Shepherd's energy and make for a much happier dog (and
you!). A 10-minute "mind" work-out (basic house
manners/obedience), playing in the back yard, or just going for a stroll around
the block can do wonders for behavior and releasing their energy. Afterwards, most are ready to lay down and relax with the family.
Others will need a longer and more focused walk each day. |
