How Much Exercise Do German Shepherds Need?
According to professional German Shepherd dog experts, German Shepherd dogs score out of 5 in a scale of how regular they need to be exercised.
German Shepherd Dogs love strenuous activity, preferably combined with training of some kind, for these dogs are very intelligent and crave a good challenge. Most shepherds love to play ball or Frisbee. Whether it is ball chasing, Frisbee catching, obedience training, participation in a canine playgroup or just taking long walks/jogs, you must be willing to provide some form of daily, constructive exercise. The daily exercise must always include daily walks/jogs to satisfy the dogâs migration instinct. If under-exercised and/or mentally challenged, this breed can become restless and destructive.
