Why is my dog whining constantly and how can I make it stop?

Question

My dog is whining constantly and I can't figure out why.. He is fed, watered, taken out to relive himself, has multiple interesting toys, and is brought to a dog park to get exercise every day. He has been eating the same thing and has no changes to his usual routine, and doesn't seem to be hurt in any way. Why could he be whining and how do I make it stop!?.

German Shepherds are known to be whiny and vocal and very intelligent. The first thing to do is to get him seen by your vet to rule out any underlying medical condition causing this behavior, especially if this is new. If he is cleared from any problems, your dog may need more exercise and mental stimulation. Take him with you everywhere you can, go for rides, get him involved in obedience training, agility, flyball, teach him tricks and tasks, anything and everything to tire his body and stimulate his mind. German Shepherds are working dogs and need something to do, they need a job. Also consider getting him a slow feeder or a puzzle feeder that makes him work and figures things out in order to get his meals and treats. A tired dog is a happy dog.
