Brit we pretty much feed the same way- and I find that it works great. We can’t schedule feed and I don’t want to free feed so I think what we do is perfectly in the middle!!  |
You can still measure the amount of food if you free feed. I really like free feeding, Joey wasn't a foodie when I free feed, but I had to start scheduling feeding if I wanted to train him using food. They have to be hungry to do this. In some ways I'm sorry I did it. He had no problem with his weight when I was free feeding, but after the trick training class, he has t watch his weight. I definitely think it's wise to free feed a puppy though.
