German Shepherds are intelligent, driven, and physically powerful. They need both mental stimulation and vigorous exercise daily. Without it, they become anxious and destructive. Tracking their activity helps you give them the structure they crave.
2–3 walks per day, with training sessions mixed in
Walks alone aren't enough. German Shepherds need training exercises, puzzle games, or a 'job' during walks. Track training sessions alongside walks to ensure they get both physical and mental exercise.
2 meals per day
Prone to bloat — avoid exercise within an hour of meals. DogApp's activity log helps you space meals and walks safely.

Double coat sheds constantly. Heavy shedding twice yearly. Regular grooming is non-negotiable.
