No it's fine especially if this is your first.

So i should free feed? how much do i put in her bowl daily? I am still confused.

The bag says 1/2 a cup to 1 and 1/3 a cup a day. But you can email or call them and they can also tell you how much to feed. It's really up to you. I prefer free feeding. You could put a 1/2 a cup down in the morning and see how much of that she eats and leave it down all day.

Depending on her size 1/2 a cup seems like plenty. Weenie eats all she wants when I feed her. I measure all here food so I know how much she eats. So knows when its meal time and eats it all. Never misses. I can't free feed either. My other dog will eat 10lbs of food if i let him. He only eats ~1/2c a day. He's a solid 6#12oz. Also Weenie will get a snack every hour or so during training. So no any puppies I've ever had would get hypoglycemia. Easier to train IME. Never had a potty problem this way. I free feed before. For me it always made them finicky eaters.
