Here are some good articles to get you started out: https://www.petcoach.co/article/how-to-crate-train-your-puppy-or-older-dog/ https://www.petcoach.co/article/basic-dog-puppy-training-rules/ https://www.petcoach.co/article/5-obedience-commands-every-dog-should-know/ https://www.petcoach.co/article/puppy-101-everything-you-need-to-consider/ https://www.petcoach.co/article/7-rules-for-effective-housetraining/ As for feeding, I recommend a good-quality, commercial puppy food. I have fed my dog Purina ProPlan from when she was 6 weeks old up to now - 13.5 years! There will be feeding guidelines on any bag of dog food. Those are a good starting point as to the amount.
