Both Milly and Chaz were on Orijen Puppy but they were changed over from the kibble their breeder fed them over at least a ten day period. Three days is not long enough in my opinion to effect a change of food type especially for a puppy.
There were some softish poos during the change over period with both of them but, as Orijen contains no filler or bulking ingredients, this is to be expected as they get used to the new food formulation. After the changeover both had almost perfect poos
.
Milly, at three years old , is still quite happily wolfing down her Orijen while Chaz, just over a year old, has been moved, slowly, over to Acana. This is another Champion petfoods brand and very much like Orijen except it has a slightly lower protein content.
Sorry but I don't understand what you mean by "instructions say to feed less of sloppy poos are a defo.".....The feeding amounts for Orijen are quite low compared to other foods which have bulking agents so it's quite easy to overfeed, stick to the recommended daily amounts for his weight, probably about 100-140 g per day, split into three or four meals, and make sure that clean water's always available.
All puppies are permanently hungry but please resist giving him more food until he's full. It's very easy to overfeed a puppy but not as easy to get the weight off later on....Ideally weigh your puppy, weigh his daily food allowance and stick to it
.
If your puppy bites a bit too hard then you could try giving a little high pitched yelp as this is the sort of response he'd get from his litter mates. There's lots of advice on here about the various joys of puppy rearing so a good look through the various topics would be well worthwhile. Different things work with different puppies so you may have to try out a few before getting it right

By the way, Is he a show or working cocker?
