I know the vets recommend sceduled feedings but where i work shift work (12 hrs plus 2 hrs on the road/day). I am not always home at the same time, or even roughly the same time everyday. I free feed and it works great. They never over eat, never fight over food (3 dogs). I think when started young they learn to eat for hunger not b/c it is in front of them. I find it simple just to keep the dishes full. I dont feel that they eat any more this way. Free feeding along with free run (doggie door into a heated building) and electric underground dog fence makes my dogs almost zero work!
Good luck with your puppy
