I have had dog visitors prior to getting Lulu. One had some food issues so I put Tuck outside while he ate then put him outside while Tuck ate.

With Lulu I was hell bent they would eat together at the same time. I pulled a Cesar Milan (I know, they say "do not attempt this at home...): I put the dishes of food about 10 feet apart and the second one would move towards the other's dish I would physically stand between them and the dish and block them. According to Cesar this tells them that I decide who will eat and from what dish. I am letting them have their food.

We did this for 2-3 days and now they eat from separate dishes about 5 feet apart. I can even leave the room and they never try to go at each other's food dish.

Yeah!!!!! Sucess!
