[QUOTE="witzend, post: 126290, member: 99"] We brought a puppy into the mix last summer. Our 10 year old dog Bubba was an "at will" eater. He never had a problem with over-eating dog food. We filled the bowl when it was empty. Mandy, the puppy, is very "food motivated". She would eat herself sick if you let her. We fed them out of seperate bowls in the morning and evening. It didn't take Bubba more than a couple of days to figure out that if he didn't eat what was in the bowl before Mandy got to it, it would be a long time before there was more food in the bowl for him. As for letting the puppy out, I don't know that I would trust your difficult child to do that, or to keep the older and newer dog from each other. If it were me, I would wait until summer. I totally forgot how much time and energy Bubba took when he was a puppy. Mandy was a real eye-opener. She did all of the things Bubba did, and I guess I just took it for granted that Bubba had stopped tearing things up, stealing food, making messes, etc... [/QUOTE]
