How can I get my German Shepherd to lose his energy?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

Exhaust your German shepherd's energy in a constructive way by engaging it in regular exercise. Take it for walks or jogs daily. Let it run loose on your property if you have a fenced-in backyard, and play "fetch" with it regularly.


How do you get energy out of a German Shepherd?

Find a physical game your dog loves, such as tug, and play an extra 15 minutes in the morning and evening. Offer them mind games, described below, to have them use up their mental energy. Find new activities to enjoy together with your German Shepherd, such as backyard agility or dog parkour.

What can you do for a high energy German Shepherd?

They require mental stimulation, an outlet for their high energy, safe chew toys and a safe place for time out. Unless these essentials can be provided, then in all fairness to the dog, a different type is recommended. Many high-drive dogs show a remarkable amount of intelligence, which makes them a joy to train.

Why is my German Shepherd so hyper?

Your German Shepherd's hyperactivity stems from the fact this breed is a herding dog, and his ancestors before him ran with his packs to control other animals. This trait affects the way German Shepherds interact with humans because they want to be the pack leader, which now means leading you.
