general protocol for tethering (umbilical cord method)

Well Jake has been tethered to me all morning and I have some questions about it.
-How long should he be tethered, I was think a week or so?
-Should he be allowed any off leash? Such as for sleeping on my floor or going potty (him or me)?
-He will be crated during bedtime routine, meals (ours), and when both AJ and I are away. Is there any reason for him to be crated when not tethered?
-Am I just supposed to stand there when he eats? I know it only takes a couple minutes but it feels awkward and although he has no food agression I don't want to cause any by hovering over him either.

Honestly he seems to be enjoying it, he right by my side and happy as can be, I'll let you know if that changes in the next couple days and I am sure I will come up with more questions.
