German Shepard Activity
You will need to keep this dog busy. 
08
German Shepherds are high energy animals, they can live in the city and in a small apartment. If you do not have a large yard for your German Shepard to run in, it will be best if you plan to walk you dog at least 3 times per day. Just be aware that you will have to exercise your dog frequently and that he will be miserable if you leave him alone for long hours without giving him a job to do.
Of course, a house with a big yard in a rural area is ideal. Since your German Shepherd will rapidly grow into a big, powerful dog, you may want to enroll him in obedience classes while he is a puppy. It is much easier to control a small puppy than a full grown untrained dog. In addition, puppy obedience classes also help provide another important benefit for your German Shepherd puppy, socialization to other dogs and people.
Many people who own these intelligent dogs make the unfortunate mistake of thinking that their dogs need to be trained as guard dogs. However, this training can lead to aggression if your dog is not trained properly. Since German Shepherds are naturally protective, they do not need attack dog training to guard your home.
