I agree to ask for some basic commands before his food is put down. I always make Ringo sit before feeding because of his dominant attitude.

On an episode of the Dog Whisperer (I know some folks hate him), Cesar said to run your hands all through the food so your scent is all over the food ~ you are the CONTROLLER and GIVER of the food. Also, pretend like you are taking a bite or eating somthing first because the leader always eats BEFORE the subordinate members.

I would not free feed either. Food is put down for 20 minutes and if not finished; then food is taken up until next feeding time.
