It is difficult to put one on a diet when you are free feeding. You may have to start feeding them in separate rooms. Make sure your chubby one gets as much as he as supposed to have but take your others to another area to feed them.
My girl gained some weight last winter so I had to watch her intake more closely and we stated going for more walks. She loved it but me not so much. I think exercise is really important for these little dogs. They can't eat much to begin with so if we can get the weight off with exercise then they can at least continue to eat normal meals. It's good for their heart and lungs anyway.
