Question

My dog used to sleep a lot and becoming lazy day by day so what can I do to change his habit? Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Male | unneutered | 4 months and 10 days old

Although puppies do sleep often during the day they should be very lively in between naps and the naps should be shorter as they get to 4-5months old. I would be concerned this is not a habit but that your puppy is acutally unwell - this is not normal puppy behavior. Please have him assessed by your vet as soon as possible to determine any underlying medical causes
