All dogs require some form of exercise, regardless of breed. A sedentary lifestyle is as harmful to a dog as it is to a person. The GSD happens to be an active breed that requires considerable exercise daily, but you don't have to be a weight lifter or marathon runner to provide your dog with the exercise he needs. Regular walks, play session in the yard or letting the dog run free in secure area under your supervision are all sufficient forms of exercise for the GSD. For those who are more ambitious, you will find that your GSD will be able to keep up with you on extra long walks or the morning jog. Not only is exercise essential to keep the dog's body fit, it is essential to his mental well being. A bored dog will find something to do, which often manifests itself in some type of destructive behavior. In this sense, it is essential for the owner's mental well being as well.
