I would get a toy that drip feeds its food slowly.

Well you'd probably be just fine asking them instead of /an/, then.

Watch its weight, they can get chubby quickly.
Plenty of human contact, don't leave it out in the yard all day.
Take it swimming, especially in the summer.
Stimulate it both physically and mentally, a training or brain game session can be as tiring as a run.
Socialize it early around both Humans and dogs of all types and you'll have the nicest dog anyone could ever ask for.

What food are you feeding?

If it's your first ever dog don't freak out if it seems like nothing is working to correct a behavior early on

Puppers change from week to week, and even if you're doing everything right some behaviors will just persist until the pup grows out of it naturally

He is home now
He likes to chew everything, should I let him chew what he likes or are there things that can damage the teeth or something
Also one of the chew toys is quite small he didnt seem to want to swallow it but is there a risk he might

Redirect the chewing to an appropriate toy unless you want everything you own chewed up. Get toys that he can't swallow. If he swallows it accidentally it will be an emergency vet trip
