At 12 months the old testosterone is starting to rear its charm and he is looking for his place on the ladder. As a newbie, I would recommend you find a good GSD person in your area who has shown males for a number of years to help you manage him...in the meantime, always be aware of the end of your leash. As to having a male with 2 females? Boy, are those males inventive in getting to the girls! I bet there are some hysterical stories that can be told from breeders on this list about the doggie adventures of canine Romeo's. I had a male that once took a 4X6 HEAVY gauge, cement post sunk gate right off the hinges to get to his true love (of the day). Plus the sobbing and moaning for "that girl"...all night...snuffle, sob, whine.
