I have always free fed when just owning a single dog and none have been overweight. If they tend to eat more than they should then just leave the empty bowl there until the next day. However once I did have two dogs and as they got older one was getting fat so then I had to go to supervised meal times in the morning and the evening with bowls on opposite ends of the room, it was hard at first since they were used to eating when they wanted, after a few days they got hungry enough and started eating when their bowls were put down. |
