Honestly, you can eat first for years but if that's all you really do, and you don't use your leadership/training skills to train the dogs how you require them to behave at mealtime, it won't really change their mealtime behavior. Dogs who have problems eating together usually only behave as they are trained how to do and shown over and over the way it must go with consistent stepping in to prevent them from behaving otherwise until they learn the rules. And those who can't achieve the level of training of two problematic dogs that allows them to eat in the same room at the same w/out problems usually separate them to prevent trouble.
