Are you sure it is not just puppy biting? Is he being serious when he attacks?

He needs training.I have had German Shepard's and they are very intelligent and adaptable dogs.They respond very well to early training.
Testing boundaries is common to this breed as they are known pack leaders.
They are a wonderful breed but need early and consistent training to be the best they can be.
Here is a link you may find useful.Do educate yourself about your breed.It is vital for his success.

At 9 weeks he should be teething. He will bite and chew EVERYthing. We always made chicken bullion ice cubes for our dobies to teethe on. If he's actually attacking it's definitely time for puppy obedience classes to start.
