husky princess Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Not a chance. I can treat together, they can share a water bowl & walk in & out of their crates together but when it comes to a bowl of food storm turns into a different dog defo issues from his previous life before Shwa he also gets very edgy before feeding & can't settle. I know when he's hungry cos he paces. I wonder whether he's previously been starving or had his food stolen by another dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobC Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 I have to admit I feed Nooks and Summer in two different rooms. If i don't he nicks her food. but I wouldn't say its food aggression, its more him asserting his place in the home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahNukka&Shadow Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Mine can be fed together (with me stood in the middle to check theres no stealing) but I feed them in their crates as 1 it means I can walk away and do whatever and 2 it re-inforces that the crate is a happy place of niceness! Nukka is usually the one that will steal if theres a chance and when I first got Shadow he would INHALE his food but now he realises that mum sees all and will not tollerate naughty sister trying to steal his food hes slowed down abit and actually tastes his food now!

Arooroomom Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 I can feed 4 of them together. Cheyenne isn't aggressive, but she's got emotional issues with food so she has to eat alone. Weird dog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 I can feed my two together no problems, touch wood - never had an issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valkyries Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 we only have a prob with the boys, we cant feed them together. Loki (girl) can eat with any of them but i think it's coz Thor is a rescue dog we have no idea of his passed, Odin realy does not mind it's Thor xxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dygosamikita Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Mine get fed in the same room, but I have to stand between. Nikita is food aggressive and a horrible thief and Sampson likes a quiet life so he just lets her carry on, unless it is something he REALLY wants.

Willow Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 I feed all of mine separate just to be safe as some of my dogs don't like other dogs around their food. The sled dogs are on chains anyways in the dog yard. When I feed the pet dogs I put one dog into the kitchen with their food and I will stand in the doorway between the kitchen and the dining room to keep the other dogs out. When that dog is done, I let it out of the kitchen and I let the next dog in and so on and so forth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSNS Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Mine have a different corner in the same room and they know where it is occasionaly they will swap which is ok but they know to leave each other alone if one makes even a move in the direction of the other bowl they get a very stern OI an they dart back to theirs lol I do no tollerate food domination as far as it goes I am in charge of the food not them and they will only have what i permit them and not what they want I am the Alpha they are equals lol Willow that sounds like a long ass way round to doing it lol but f it works then why not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ocspirit Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 The boys I can feed next to each other, facing each other, whatever. They each get their own bowl and stick to it. OC would love to steal from Ronan but I have taught him not to. Neither boy is possessive to the other. I switch up where they are fed and what bowl they are fed with because we do a lot of traveling so they have to be used to change. More often then not though I feed each one in his doghouse. I don't monitor them I just put the bowls down (wherever that might happen to be) and leave. With Vix, she hasn't been taught yet about meal feedings and to clean her dish as soon as it gets placed. With growing pups I don't portion food, I free-feed throughout the day. I have started introducing the concept that food isn't always around though and soon how often it is offered will be limited as well. Eventually she will be meal-fed twice a day just like the boys.
