Play time should be limited. He's at risk to go hypoglycemic. Make sure he eats 3-4 times a day. Have Nutrical on hand.
Get him on a schedule example 8 - 12 - 4 - 8. Out to potty every 2 hours. Get him up at 8, out to potty, in to eat, out to potty, gentle play after meals, out to potty after playtime, and naptimes. Repeat every 4 hours.
yes what a great post...you have to be his mommy, show him what loving calm time is, you are his pack leader so you make all the decisions

you can teach him what he needs at this age just think like a mama dog
I once raised a pup from six weeks. It was amazing and he turned out to be an awesome little guy. I had to be his mama that's all.

good luck with your sweet one
