Just watch him with the throwing up. It could be many things. Did the breeder send you home with any of the type of food he has been eating? If so you will want to gradually switch his food over to what you are choosing to use. Otherwise this can cause an upset tummy, vomiting, diarrhea, etc..
As for schedules...non work days give him as much love and attention as possible. You will still want to crate him if you can't be right there watching him even on those days, but let him enjoy you when you are home. Crating will last for about a year or longer. Until you can trust him in the house without destroying things, having accidents etc...
Potty training...keep it up. Some Beagles can take up to about 9 months before they are successful 100% of the time. I personally never had a problem potty training a beagle, but I know that most people say they are more difficult than other breeds. Just remember to take Einstein out after every nap, at least once an hour while he's awake and playing, app. 10 minutes after he has eaten his dinner and always be consistent with your method. Praise for good, ignore the accidents. Beagles do not respond to punishment AT ALL.
Welcome to BW. I am sure you will have many questions and hopefully some of the seasoned owners will be able to assist you with answers. We love pictures around here so if you have a camera...shoot away.
