Joey is free fed also. He gets treats after letting me do things to him he doesn't really like. (ear cleaning, nail clipping, putting ointment on his scar, ect.)

Twice daily, generally am feeding is between 7:30-9:30am and pm feeding is between 7-10:30pm. I find feeding at varied times really stops the dogs from getting all wound up because they think they should be fed.

The girls are fed from their bowls, Kes gets breakfast in a bowl because of the mixins we use (yogurt, fish oil, etc.) and dinner in a toy to work off more energy.

Sienna's on raw, and usually only gets dinner. Before I switched her, when she was eating kibble, she never ate her breakfast so I just stopped feeding it. Dinner at my house tends to be late, but she usually gets something else during the day - frozen kong if I leave her home alone, sometimes an egg in the morning, training treats, my lunch leftovers...and sometimes helps herself to the cat food when I'm not looking. (Bad dog!) If her dinner was something with a large-ish bone, she'll work on that overnight and during the next day.

My parents' ACD gets breakfast and dinner, but usually doesn't finish the meal so she always has food in her dish.

Morgan eats twice a day, though the amount is adjusted based on activity/number of treats he receives. (On a morning when we do training, he will often get his whole breakfast in the form of "treats" with his kibble.)

My dogs eat about 8:30 a.m. and about 4:30 p.m. Sometimes a little later. Sometimes a portion of their food will be used for rewards. Well....Jose` and Tokie. Chuli would be insenced if I tried to reward her with kibble.
