Default My first german shepherd ...any tips/advice???

Got a gsd named Ivy 2 weeks ago. I've owned dogs but never have I owned such a smart breed. She is very well behaved with me and listens to my commands. She already knows the commands "sit" and "shake." Besides command training what other ways can I keep her mentally stimulated. I'm expecting in a few weeks and am wondering if my ivy will have any issues with the new baby. Have any of you people had any problems introducing a family pet to a new family member? Would appreciate some advices

CONGRATS! I just got my first one in August. I agree. They are smarter.
I have no experience with the baby thing. Sorry.

Lol it's ok! I mean I've heard they're protective dogs,but I wanna know more. Only problem is that she only listens to me. She just plays with everyone else. Other than that she's been amazing I'm just afraid she will end up outsmarting everyone else like she has already
