Random Rookie Programmer Question About Timer and Watchdog

Hi guys, I just started programming for FRC this year in Java. However, I'm kinda confused over how to effectively use all the methods in the Watchdog() class like the feed method. Should I be using watchdog in the tele-operator section of the class to disable the robot in case I don't move it in a long time...or is it just for enabling safety on the robot before it is switched to autonomous or tele-operated mode? Also, I looked over the "Beginning with Java FRC" guide on Google, but I don't understand what the Timer class/methods are used for (i.e. why do I need to use Timer.delay(xx) within the teleoperated section of the class)?
