Do this a few times and your dog will know it's time to eat. They'll know that you control what goes on, you hold their lifeline.

As it is now she is in control of if/when she eats and that's not a good thing for a dog.

I think we'll need to wait for her to read a story about something bad happening with a dog being free-fed and then she'll come back and say, "Oh you guys, I should have listened. You were telling me all along and I just couldn't see it"

Remember, she IS a dog - she needs YOU to make the decisions! If you set her food out and she doesn't eat it, up it goes, until you get home, and at her dinner time, give it to her after she sits (NILIF) and then if she refuses to eat, up it goes, AGAIN until breakfast. She'll begin to look foward to her meals and she'll realize you're in control of her eating, and will respond. Voila, no more games at mealtime!

Some dogs only eat once a day right?
However, some folks when commenting - and I'm sure trying to help - seem to have a little bit of an edge
