Same thing when that pup has to adjust to life with a kennel full of others who have the freedom to go in and out doggy doors all day and eat when they want. Does that one pup get locked in a cage for life? Away from other dogs? Not being able to socialize? Do you change the feeding pattern of the entire kennel for the one dog? Quote:

Hmmm... I just remembered why I haven't been on YT for over a year... THANKS FOR REMINDING ME!!!  |
seems as if someone is overly sensitive. MM needs to calm down. Advice about horses may not apply to our little Yorkies, but your heart was in the right place.
I have often wondered, if you have so many dogs and you free feed, how do you know if all the dogs are eating?
MYM, you seem like a good person to take on the responsibility of a new dog with no "table manners". I hope you resolve the issue.
Does a dog get a distended abdomen from not eating as much as he should? Perhaps that is why he really gulps at the food. You sound intelligent & I feel with your kind heart, you will do right by this baby. I do not have that many dogs so I cannot help you. But I do wish you luck.
Keep your toes out of MM's way. LOL
