If your dog has an existing space where it eats, place the dog feeder there. If you’re setting up for a new dog or puppy, set aside a place where the dog can eat in peace.
Dogs like a little privacy when eating. Somewhere they won’t be disturbed or interfered with. If you place the feeder somewhere busy, the dog will eat as fast as possible, which can cause issues in later life. Place the dog feeder somewhere out of the way where you or your children can avoid while the dog is eating.
