I am new myself, but have learned so much through this board. My pups previous owner had fed my baby one of the "bad" foods, but I didn't realize how generic it was until I landed here with a wealth of information. Check out the health and diet section, lots of advice and recommendations on food. As far as your schedule - good luck. The only thing I have realized is getting a puppy is like having a baby, you have to be patient and realize they are like infants - yelping, potty, sleeping habits and all. Just like real skin babies they grow and mature and change. Just change with them. Good luck and Congrats on your new furbaby! My baby is only 4 months old and we have gone through many changes already. I am sure one of the more experienced owners will give you some great advice.
