I am having issues with my big dog going around the house and eating up all the puppies food and drinking all 3 water dishes of water up in one sitting. This is enough water to last more than a day for the 2 puppies and my other Yorkie. This is also about a days worth of food. We have gone through about 3-4 months worth of puppy food in 3 weeks time because I have to keep putting food back out for the puppies because the big dog gobbles it up as soon as I turn my back. He doesn't dare do it while I am watching because I tell him not to and make him go lay down. He does this if I go in the kitchen to get a drink or go to the laundry room to start a load of laundry.

Any ideas on what I can do to make it easy for the puppies to get to their food and water but make it very difficult for the 80 lb English Setter to get to it? He gets fed twice a day and has a raised water dish that none of the Yorkies can reach and I change the water in the raised dish, but it has not been empty for at least 2 weeks because he is always drinking the Yorkie's water and I am getting fed up with it.

I currently have their food and water under a chair but it is not ideal how it is set up right now and I am hoping for a better solution to the problem.
