If you find this a "pain", you can slowly work to getting them to eat in the same room with your presence (as mentioned by Gemy) little by little. It will get easier as they get used to being together in the same pack.

Thanks for this idea!! yesterday, and this morning we fed in the same room at the same time and it's going OK, but definately takes two of us. Crate feeding could work if we both aren't home for a meal.
