xteacher, I am happy to know you take foster dogs!! I am not worried about one of them eating to much. A can of wet food feeds 3 dogs both morning and evening. It really is for putting their meds in the food and Kissie needs to eat before her insulin shot 2x daily. The rest of the day they can eat dry food. Their weight is fine.
Tonight I sat in the floor between Kissie and Jazzie while they ate. When Jazzie was finished and she wanted to go over to Kissie's plate, I told her no and blocked her. I will continue this and see what happens.
I thought I would use the leash approach but putting a harness on her 2x daily (we would keep a harness on all the time when in the mh but not at home) seems a little much.
I am also thinking about after she finishes putting her in another room.
I really appreciate the replies. One thing for sure Jazzie is a sweet dog and we are so happy to have her in our lives!!!
