I started out just leaving food out for him (since he's using the litter box, I don't have to schedule walks out) - but when we started having dominance problems, I changed that. Now he has to wait until after I'm finished eating, and then I put his bowl down. Seems to be helping.
But he does get treats throughout the day with training, so he gets plenty to eat. I'm afraid I'll end up with a little vienna sausage if I'm not careful!!!!
I leave food out all day in Ellie's bowl and she just eats as and when she needs it. She seems very good at regulating her food imput and only eating when she needs to. Lucky really considering she never really took to set meal times!
Jen, do you plan on giving him set meal times as he gets older? Because if you do, you'll want to start when he is a pup. Once his pattern of eating is set it would be very tricky to change it.
When I lived on my own I would just leave biscuits food in his bowl all the time... But since we moved in where BoBo is, he will just eat all the little boys food if we did that!
Twice a day for mine except the other morning I had to go to work real early and they wouldn't eat their morning meal so I left it out for them for the day.
