Free feeding often encourages dogs with bad food behaviours to guard their food.  | Why would you believe the dog would feel the need to guard the free choice food? | AngelBunny said basically the same thing in her post about free feeding - Quote: |
I do not recommend free feeding whether your have one dog or several. Dog #1 may well eat, hungry or not, to prevent Dog #2 or Dog #3 from getting any of his or her food. Free feeding in a multiple dog household also can encourage guarding behavior--the unhungry dog won't leave his or her bowl, protecting it from the other dogs.
