If there are several dogs living in the house, then difficulties with feeding the animals cannot be avoided.
Due to differences in animal breeds, temperament and other characteristics, some may eat faster, some may need a separate menu, and some pets will constantly be underfed due to uninvited guests.
You can try feeding them at different times or in different places. But it won't be hard to train a disciplined dog to use its own bowl. Experts have explained how to do this.
First, buy different bowls for the dogs.
Pets will get used to the fact that each of them has their own bowl, and will even learn to distinguish it.
Secondly, place the bowls in specific places.
If the dog's personalized bowl is in a special place, it will be easier for the dog to get used to it. This can be a bowl on a stand, a rug, or another device that the dog will associate with feeding.
Thirdly, the regime
Always feed your dogs at the same time. This will discipline the animals, but continue to monitor their behavior and do not allow pets to go near other people's bowls.
Fourth, encourage
Repeat the actions every day so that the dogs remember the sequence. Reinforce the achieved results by rewarding the animals.
Fifth, do not punish and be patient
Physical punishment is unlikely to have the same effect as encouragement. Instead, be patient and persistently point your pet to his bowl.
One day the dogs will get used to it and each will eat from its own bowl.
