    When eating kibble, they all eat in the diningroom/kitchen area, just at different spots.

    When eating raw, they all eat on the paved area in their yard. It's about 4x10foot wide.

    i have to keep mine seperate because coco refuses to eat in the same room as the other two. and Cainan doesnt eat until he's FOR sure that the other two are eating theirs and wont take his! He spends half the time guarding his food still!

    They all eat in different areas. All three of them are one diets so they can't eat the others food. Molly gets fed near the washer, the normal eating spot. Prince gets fed in 'his' room and Astra gets fed outside. She eats it a lot quicker and actually eats all of it when fed outside.

    Feeding is one of the most complicated parts of keeping this pack.

    -Kayleigh eats alone of course, because she does everything alone. Kayleigh was starved by her first owner. Six years later, food is still a huge issue for her. She still keeps something edible hidden in her doghouse at all times, just in case I forget to feed her one night!

    -Raven and Deuce can eat together. They are seperated on the nights I feed kibble. They eat meat in the same pen.

    -Chum and Pacer eat together in their own pen.

    -Tehya eats different food than everyone else. She is in her crate while the others eat and then gets fed alone.

    -Muskwa eats diet kibble. Earle and Paxil need a low fat diet(due to chronic pancreatitis). Sleet eats senior food. They all eat in the house at the same time, but in different spots.

    -Chase and Goldie eat together.

    -Sundin eats in his doghouse, but with Ozzy and Antare in the same pen.

    -Pingo eats in her doghouse too(Must be genetic), but in the main yard.

    -Hobo eats in the Arctic entry by himself.

    -Heyoka gets tied up for dinner or none of the other dogs would get any food.

    -Anvik needs additional calories. He eats in a small pen by himself.

    The rest of them(Founder, Delta, Bandit, Mac, and Franklin) eat as a group in the main yard. They eat get a pile of kibble or a chunk of meat. Kibble they eat in something of a row. Meat they eat grab their piece and go to their own spots to chew.

    Nebo is food aggressive (with dogs, NOT people). He's usually not bad with just dog food, but you never know. Keva seems fine with dog food (Nebo likes to finish his first then crawl over and try to sneak a bit of hers and she doesn't do anything) but with any "special" treat she guards it. So to prevent any problems, I separate them. I feed them in the same room, I just put Keva on a leash and leave Nebo loose. They can be close, just not close enough for Keva to reach Nebo's food and they are completely fine.

    Sydney is fed by my mom, she usually feeds her before I get out of bed then again in her room I think. Sydney and Nebo can be fed in the same room and they are fine, Sydney's not dumb enough to come up and try to take Nebo's food.....but Keva is.

    Both Riley and Rebel are fed in the kitchen, though not next to each other as Riley likes to steal Rebels food.

    Mine all eat near eachother, but out of different bowls. They dont have a problem at all if another dog is near their bowl and they're all very good about leaving eachother alone.

    Lucky has always had severe food aggression, both towards humans and dogs. After working on him for a few years, he's no longer aggressive towards humans (thank God for "Leave It"), but he has drawn blood from Giselle several times. Being the softhearted greyhound that she is, she doesn't even try to defend herself.

    Sooo the dogs eat at different corners of the house. Troublesome, but worth it.

    All three eat in the sunroom, though all have different bowls. All three boys have just very slight food aggression, but its never been a problem. All of them just keep to themselves. No problems at all!

    Lacey and Layla eat just a few feet from each other. When Layla was a little puppy, I sat between the two of them until she learned to just eat out of her bowl.

    no, because I only have one dog! But if I had more I'd seperate them anyway.

    Mine eat together and always have. Halfway through the meal they often change bowls. I guess they want to make sure the other one is eating the same thing.
