So my family and I just brought home our 9 week old brindle puppy. My plan was to feed him 3 times a day, breakfast, lunch and dinner, which works out well with our family schedule. However, the few times I fed him, I was actually surprised that he did not 'devour' his food after I put it down for him, despite the amount of energy he seems to be exerting.
The breeder told me that the puppies were open fed during the day and his eating habits since we brought him home definitely confirm this. So my questions are as follows...
1. What are some methods I can use to efficiently get him out of his 'open feeding' habit since I would rather not leave his food out all day (which will help with potty training since I will know when he eats)?
2. Should I keep water out for him all of the time or only when I feed him (which will also help with potty training)?
