 Give Plenty Of Exercise And Play
 Exercise will benifit you and your GSD.....
You want to make sure you will have time to give your puppy plenty of exercise and play time to keep your GSD fit and healthy. If you do not exercise your puppies on a regular schedule, they can become over weight causeing them to become unhealthy. It is important that their bodies develop healthy - in a physical manner as well as mentally.
Short walks should be your starting point. You DO NOT want to over extend their running at this young age. For the first 12 months, your puppy should do daily walks while gradually building them up for longer walks. If you extend their exercise to strongly, they can become sore and have joint problems later in life.
Exercise and play will work together for a balanced body and frame of mind. Puppies will absorb everything you do. They will hear your sounds, and watch your movements. With repetition, of these sounds and movements, you puppy will learn what you are saying and showing them. Everything you do, they will pick up on. You are their leader and they will be learning from you.

If you extend their exercise to strongly, they can become sore and have joint problems later in life. Use good judgement for your puppies level of exercise they should be getting. Keep the running and jumping to a minimum, let them grow and develope at a healthy pace. Take your time and don't tire them out or leave them exhausted after a long walk or have them trying to keep up with you. Exercise and Play with your GSD is an essential part of growing up. Remember, they are puppies!
Using common sense will let you know how intense his play should be.
Spend as much time you can on a daily basis playing with your puppies - you must interact with them at all times in order to build up a good relationship. This will be their confidence builder and will also mentally stimulate them. Remember, your GSD puppy doesn't want to sit around all day, they need plenty of company and regular activity.
The GSD's love children and will have a solid bond with them when they grow up together. Children have a lot of energy, so what better way to exhaust both the puppy and child at the same time?
REMEMBER: Young children and puppies should be under adult supervision at all times!
When Play time is over for the day, make sure your puppies have some dog toys to have as their own possessions - this will not only give them a feeling of contentment, but will also occupy them when left alone.
(this will also help stop them from chewing on your personal belongings and furniture - they only do this when they feel neglected or bored)
GIVE THEM SOME TOYS!
After all this exercise and social play time, your puppy is ready to take a nap. Puppies are just like children. You teach them, you pay attention to them, you correct them, you play with them, you comfort them. Basically, you raise your puppy like a "Furry Four Legged" baby. They will only know what you teach them! Raise your puppy correctly and you will have a Best Friend for life!
And don't forget, you puppy will need this exercise more than once or twice a day. Pick a "Comfort Zone" for the puppies night resting place so they learn to sleep through the night.
Enjoy raising your new puppy!
