If he's 12 months old, twice a day feedings should be sufficient. Maybe one meal larger than the other. If he gets a lot of treats, he won't be hungry at mealtime.

Provide toys that he can chew on (like a kong or cow hoof) when you see him chewing on something he shouldn't. Don't give him anything like an old shoe--he won't know the difference between an old one and a good one.

And welcome to PetTalk.
