dunno, like I said, 'I suppose' just guessing I am, that by feeding them seperate solves your problem not their's, if you get what I am thinking :2445:

no sange your right, if my dogs did that i would feed them together to solve the problem a pack eats to gether and works together so to seperate you avoiding the issues, and they may even get much worse this is just my opinion hun :love:

Ive fed them together today and yesterday but took mickeys plate up as soon as he finished and made him sit and wait for Keira to finish I didnt let him pace like he has been doing and i stood between them They were fine He does normally wait until she has finished and walked away before going over to her bowl but i will stop him from doing this in future :xze:

The dogs are still fed together with Keiras food going down first I make Mickey sit and wait until i tell him he can have his food if Mickey finishes before Keira which is nearly every time i make him sit and wait until Keira has eaten all hers If he trys to go by her i just put him into the hall just incase You can see her tense up and start watching him as soon as he finishes his food so rather than risk another fight i take him out of the room Mickey and Keiras Fight - Page 2 729386

AXLE and XENA eat together with no problems and both pups eat together although the still gulp to see if they can get to each other bowls when one pup has finished she is prevented from moving to other bowl,both bowls are removed todether

This is MUCH easier said than done Kenny. My two Shepherds are fed separately because they have squared up to each other on more than one occasion. I know you're probably more experienced than me but, for me, to see & hear two dogs fighting is horrendous. My two are NOT playing. It's serious and they have drawn blood.
I could never risk them being near each other's food. It is simply not worth the risk.
Sly has even turned on Todd when he accidently got in the way

my nan had 2 male labradors years ago .. she used to have to chain them both up seperately at meal times, they were fine in every other way, just a nightmare when it came to mealtimes
