Yes I would and I can tell you why. I have taught Hudson to "wait" before he eats. Meaning, he must sit in front of the bowl until I release him to eat. I can say "wait"
while he is eating and he will sit back down and wait. At this time I can put my hand into the bowl and take the raw steak.
Shelby on the other hand was not taught the "wait" command, but she has never been aggressive with food, as we have always thrown treats in her bowl, we take up the bowl to put more yummy goodness in there and put it back down. She'll just wait for it. So yes, I can confidently say that I can take a raw steak out of their bowls with no issues.
