How do you feed puppies separately?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

Resource Guarding First, feed them in separate rooms temporarily to prevent fights. The ultimate goal is to convince the dog that they have plenty, and thus, don't need to guard their bowl. Another way to address resource guarding is to remove your dog's food in the middle of their meal.


Is it OK to feed dogs separately?

Dogs should always have their own food dish, but a communal water bucket is usually fine. It may be necessary to feed the dogs in different areas of the home if: One dog finishes first and tries to eat the other dog's food, as this can lead to an overweight pooch rather quickly. They fight over the food.

Should puppies eat all their food at once?

They should be getting enough calories to help them grow into adult dogs, but not too much all at the same time.

How do I feed one dog and not the other?

Fill both dog food bowls, but remove the dog that is getting his food stolen from the room temporarily. Let your food-stealing dog eat from his own bowl. When he approaches the other dog's bowl, push him away, by placing your body between the dog and the extra bowl. Firmly say “leave it” or “off".
