Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If Luna is eating, drinking and using the bathroom normally then she is likely whining because of her breed. German Shepherds are a “chatty” breed. Meaning they make a lot of noise when they are healthy. I would recommend making sure Luna has a lot of exercise and lots of brain toys (toys she has to think or solve to get treats out). Shepherds have an active mind and need a lot of stimulation. Obedience classes can be helpful for you to teach Luna new tricks to keep her entertained. Good luck and kisses to Luna!
