Angelo will only eat if I'm standing there while he does it. He seems to be very hungry when he does eat but when I walk off, he stops and follows me. How do I change this?

Feed him in an xpen or 'his' room, a crate or a playpen. You may have to stay with him till he gets a little older. Remember he's just a baby dog and he's used to always having another dog or puppy around. Like a pack mentality if you will. You are now his Momma, part of his new 'pack', who tend to do everything together.
