    Well, just feed your poodle in the morning or night when your terrier has one meal, and then don't feed your poodle at night when you feed the terrier again. You can give the poodle a snack if you feel bad, like one treat. You can try putting a big ball in the dog dish so your terrier has to eat around it. We did that for Remy for awhile, it worked.

    I was going to suggest a good size stone / rock (wash it good, first) in the bowl, for the fast eater. A ball "could" be nosed out.

    Feed them together once per day, and the terrier only the other time, with the poodle closed in the bedroom or on leash with you. Would that work?

    Petsmart sells the slow down bowls.. we have two. They work really well. Even better if you feed any amount of wet food.. then they have to lick it out. Takes forever! We had a big problem with Zeke inhaling his food.. would choke he ate so fast.

    Try turning this one on its head - when do YOU want your dogs to eat? When and how is up to you then you can work out how best to cater for their dietary needs
