>Once we got him home, he's become kind of lazy? He doesn't really play much or interact with us. We bought him some toys that he'll chew on for a moment and then ignores them. He seems to prefer laying in our bedroom alone than being in the living room with us.
Who knows what his situation was before you got him, but think of it this way. The puppy was born some place, was probably moved to another place after being born (a shelter) for who knows how long, uprooted again after being adopted, and given to a couple of strangers who have now taken them to yet another strange place. In it's short life it may have very little consistency it's had to rely on - so at this point - it's just bascially "unsure" of it's surroundings and where it's at. The perceived "lazyness" is more like your puppy being extremely "cautious". I wouldn't rule out a vet visit (seems you already are going to see one) based on some infections and conditions that spread in shelters (like, kennel cough for instance).
The good thing is, training starts NOW. The key is to take things slow the first few days and part of your training regiment at this point should be to slowly introducing your dog to your home. Getting it acquainted with the weird furniture, items, and rooms. Here is a good link about things you should have already done before getting the puppy home. You can review the list and hammer out any holes. Here is an article that talks about how to handle the first night home with your pup.
A few things to keep in mind, in relation to the "training" that should begin immediately with your pup:
>Also, eating. We were given a bag of ScienceDiet for puppies that ran out sooner than we expected. The Petco was closed that night, so we googled options and came out with a chicken-rice blend that he wolfed down. Now he's not eating the ScienceDiet we managed to procure the next day. Did we ruin his training by switching meals? Or is it possible that he's just not hungry? He hasn't eaten once today.
Again, a lack of appetite could be a result of the added stress from being relocated to it's new home. Just make sure you have plenty of water for him to drink and always give him food at scheduled times at first, even if he eats it or not. A couple schools of thought about feeding, but I prefer to feed my dog at scheduled times, 3 times a day (GSD/Rottweilier, prone to bloat so I spread out meals). In this fashion, you can control the, as a puppy, many potty breaks your dog will need at first. Bladder control is going to be something you have to build your dog up to - it won't be able to hold it at first and prepare for accidents. Controlling the feeding will allow you to eventually notice how long and when your dog needs to poop. It will also allow you to put it on a schedule so that it doesn't need to poop in the middle of the day or times when you may be gone.
People have recommended the "FoodAdvisor" website which I strongly suggest. Read up on different grain-free foods that are in your budget. There are lots of great foods for your dog in lots of different price ranges, you just have to do some digging for them. Using FoodAdvisors "Most Recommended" list would be a good start. I feed my GSD/Rottie Blue Buffalo Wilderness - Chicken & Rice recipe. It's about $50 for a 24LB bag and that lasts just about a month or a bit under.
