Haha my dog just inhales food too i got him this
My perpetually hungry chocolate lab reacted very positively to [the DogMaze](https://www.amazon.com/Buster-KR274091-Dog- Maze/dp/B005QJXSHC). She doesn't like it, but it slowed her eating down dramatically and, unlike just about every feeding toy I could find, it's made out of one solid piece of thick plastic rather than many fiddly parts that can be chewed on.
If you haven't, might be worth a try?
asta il avem noi. poti inregistra voice-ul sa o chemi si poti seta cate mese vrei sa ii dai etc. :)

Not with that kinda attitude you can't!
I found these bowls for pet food just randomly searching through Amazon one day and thought it would make a nice chalk bowl and wanted to share. The one I got is the 4 cup size.

My dog would loooove this, but $45? Not sure it's worth it.
Edit: Found another one much more reasonably priced. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CHN5ZQ1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_aMy.AbCGYXG8S
Wow, that is expensive.
A non-spill travel bowl with a floating centre section (which is designed to prevent water sloshing about when the bowl is in your car) does about the same job and they're about a tenner.
...they were originally designed as travel bowls but as a side effect they only allow access to a small quantity of water at a time which stops the dog making a mess. The level of water available remains constant as the floating section drops down in the bowl.

Here, you can get one here.
I think he means something like this https://www.amazon.com/WOpet-Automatic-Dispenser-Features-Distribution-Programmable/dp/B075CXMJB5/ref=zg_bs_2975260011_3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=CRHST05P11GVRZ0RAR8T it basically portions out the food and dispenses it at certain times usually its to prevent cats from getting overweight or helping them lose weight.
That is because those antlers sell for $$$ as dog chews. 8 inch long costs $21.http://www.amazon.com/Antler-Pet-Expertise-X-Large-Piece/dp/B004JB7GC6
eeeek :) Maybe I can help still....
There are these bowls that you can clip to the side of an enclosure like an xpen - like this or this or this - clip it low to the ground so it's basically still is on the ground for him but clipped in. Or even a gravity feeder like this.
Gulpy Dog Water Bottles
My Golden does the same thing! He’s 8 months, and any time I would fill his bowl he’d drink it all, and then not be able to hold his pee. I bought thisthis bowl and it’s been a life saver. It only lets out a little at a time which slows him down majorly. I fill it up about 3 times a day.
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0723GD6NC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
That's the one I got. It's cheap Chinese electronics and I've only had it for 4 months so I can't speak to its longevity. The cat behaviour definitely changed, but I can't speak to the quality of the product! I like that it is powered by USB, has a battery backup, is mechanically simple. It has a feature where it records your voice and can play it back -- it's OK for training, but if you find a cheaper one from a more reputable manufacturer that doesn't include this feature, it's not a big loss.
At 6 months she is too young, but I would suggest looking into /r/runningwithdogs in about a year. UNTIL THEN:
Fetch. Around the house, at the park, all the time.
And I can vouch for the antler advice. I have a mega jawer Border Collie, nothing lasts like a good deer or elk antler. (like this) The open cut ones are tastier, but don't last as well.
Training should be fun! Watch some of the ideos on the sidebar and just have a good time.
Relax, puppies are like kids, they want to have fun and will drive you nuts.
I highly recommend you get a dog water bottle. You can attach it to your belt or hold it while you run if your dog won't have a reliable source of water on your runs. I have an older husky Shepherd, body and fur of a Shepherd, live in Texas. Even at 80 degrees with sunlight she stops to take water from me two or three times over a 40 minute walk. Though of course every dog will be different so if he's fine awesome but be prepared for your first few times. Especially if your weather like mine hits 100+ as the summer goes on.
This is the one I use Highwave AutoDogMug, Blue https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00YNK9VPI?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Otherwise just make sure if you are on pavement that it's not to hot for your dog. Easy measurement is put the back of your hand down. If you can hd it there for 5-10 seconds it's probably safe otherwise wait for it to cooldown or find some of that wax stuff to put on their paws. Though this might be a double edged sword as I think it might block sweating which won't be good on a run.
> However, he's intelligent enough to know that when I'm not at home, he can do whatever he wants.
This is a common concept throughout the animal kingdom. Humans, too. It's why corrections are ineffective for this type of situation, because he does these things when you're not home, therefore negating the ability for anyone to correct the behavior. Management, daily mental/physical stimulation, and short, fun training sessions are the top ways to address it.
Have you tried a slow feeder bowl for water?
How do you feel about crate training for when you are gone?
> I have tried pretending to leave and catching him in the act.
It sounds like this has exacerbated the problem. I would stop doing this if you are. He is learning how to test whether or not you are home, as you've discovered.
I would absolutely try fun, positive vibe-feeling crate training for this sort of stuff. If you play lots of games with the crate (many on Youtube), make it very fun and all about good things, give him food, treats, bones, etc. in there, he will learn that it's a fun and safe space where good things happen.
However, if he is only doing these things when you're not home, it could be that he is exhibiting separation anxiety. If you find that crate training or placing him in a safe room/bathroom is unsuccessful, I would recommend contacting a veterinary behaviorist or extremely competent behaviorist or certified trainer. I say vet behaviorist first because if it is true sep anx, and it is severe enough objectively, pharmalogical intervention can help training sessions actually sink in, because anxious brains can't learn.
Greyhounds love slumberballs! I got my 60 pound girl a extra large one since I knew she'd like a lot of room to stretch out on it, so you could either do that size or size up to a giant one to allow him to be more comfortable. Either size would work though.
Did you get toys yet? How about a raised feeder? In my experience with fostering and owning my girl, they don't seem to be too big on chew types of toys, but love squeaky toys. Mine loves this squeaky toy since the squeaker is super loud and strong, and this plush toy. A little while after we got her we also realized that while she wasn't into small balls like tennis balls or anything, she really loved big balls like soccer balls. I was sick of her destroying soccer balls quickly, so I got her one of these since it was recommeded to me by someone at the dog park, and that thing is seriously indestructible. As far as feeders go, if you haven't gotten one yet then I'd recommend this one. $20 and comes with two bowls. I've had it for a year now with no problems.
I have only had my greyhound, Kuiper, for 3 weeks, so I can speak to what the first couple weeks with a shy dog is. He is also a retired racer (race name Bella Kingo) and was off the track for about 2 months before coming into our home. What is your girls racing name? What is her new name going to be?
Greyhounds in generally seem to be a very reserved breed at first, but they then open up and ours is becoming quite the goofball!
I don't know if you plan on kenneling her at all, but we chose to kennel Kuiper and are very happy we did. He likes to "get away from it all" sometimes and just goes to his kennel to take a nap. Also, he prefers to eat while standing in his kennel - while reaching to his food bowl outside.
As for things to keep in mind. The first day is often overwhelming for the dogs (at least it was for Kuiper.) Hourly trips outside until he got on schedule (he didn't go poop for the first 2 days!) and we ended up adding some metamucil to his food to solidify his stool. Greys can be sensitive, and you'll notice it most when they go to the bathroom. Also, we kennel Kuiper in our room at night and the second night his stomach was grumbling so loud it actually woke us up. That sometimes happens with the stress of new scenery and a new diet.
Also, patio doors! Our grey took one look at our deck and headed right into our patio door. He didn't hurt himself, but was kind of confused as first. So, if you have a patio door, just draw the blinds or put some masking tape on it and then introduce it to him.
I'll give you our experience with our cats. When we first got Kuiper, we put the cats in the basement for the first day to give him a chance to acclimate himself to us and our house. The second day we brought the cats up and every time a cat would come near, Kuiper would jump to his feet. At first, we thought it was a sign of aggression, we soon figured out that he was TERRIFIED of them and just wanted to leave the room when they came in. 3 weeks later, he still doesn't "like" them, but generally completely ignores them.
Another thing you could do to help the bond is grooming her. We bought a grooming glove which Kuiper really likes. I think it helps build the bond between him and I.
I had the chance to take off some work and spend the first couple days with him - I think that helped. All in all, we are still learning a LOT. He hasn't had any accidents in the house and only barks (or whines) when he needs to go outside to relieve himself. Honestly, it has been nothing short of fantastic!
Edit: I would also recommend a harness instead of a collar for when you go outdoors. I was reading an article just the other day that said there has been an increase in cases of dogs having esophageal problems because of collars. With shy dogs, sometimes they like to just freeze and stand there - and sometimes you need to move them for their own safety (i.e. Kuiper likes to freeze when people on bikes come towards him and we need to gently move him to the side of the trail.) The harness takes the strain off the neck. Just my two cents :)
I don't know if thats a regular log or a log hide on the bottom part but you need 2 hides. Also, get rid of the aspen bedding. Pet stores tell you its fine for BPs but its really not. They need something like coco husk that will help retain humidity and not get mold. Also, I suggest getting a much sturdier water bowl. The tupperware container you have will easily get knocked over and spill. I suggest these ceramic ones:
https://www.amazon.com/Ethical-5-Inch-Stoneware-Crock-Dish/dp/B00025YU3Q/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=ceramic+water+bowl&qid=1562863550&s=gateway&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1
What are you doing for heating and is it attached to a thermostat?
In this subreddit there are pinned posts and a BP wiki that has a lot of useful information for setting up good enclosures. I highly recommend you check it out.
> I don’t know if any reason a water dish should have a computer in it,
Alexa, feed the dog
Did you know there is a bowl designed to stop the wet beard? This has saved me from having to follow my dog around with a towel while at my mother in laws:)
UPSKY Dog Water Bowl No-Spill Pet Water Bowl Slow Water Feeder Dog Bowl No-Slip Pet Water Dispenser 35oz Feeder Bowl for Dogs and Cats ... (Grey) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07J4PJNZF/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_LuVUDb9THSQ26
I bought some similar to this but instead of a stainless steel bowl in the inside, it's a ceramic dish. I've also used these I like the ceramic over plastic because you can sanitize the dishes better and they don't get scratched up over time. The other reason I like ceramic over the other dishes is they have a thicker rim around the edge and I would think that would be more comfortable to perch on the edge of for your bird. They are hard to find though, unless you can find a local bird farm that carries them or a bird expo coming to town. I've bought my last couple of batches of dishes when the vendor shows up at the bird expo near me.
Either type can be hung anywhere in the cage. You'll get the hang of where to place the dishes in the cage! Even after I do a make over on the cage I usually end up moving a few stuff after a couple of days because I can see that my bird can poop on something from certain points.
He's adorable! One thing that you should try is to raise the level of the food bowl. This has helped Rex immensely and prevents most of the hiccups that he was getting that would sometimes go too far and have him throw up.
We have one similar to this, which is just a 4" rise.
http://www.amazon.com/Our-Pets-4-Inch-Signature-Series/dp/B000K78HRQ
Give it a try!
I'm pretty sure this is the exact one I bought. My dog is about 65lbs and I went with the 20oz size, although he has another larger water dish available when he's not in the kennel.
Rawhides give my dog diarrhea, while bones don't, so those might be easier on their stomachs. But even better are antlers! (That's just an example, there are tons of places to order them and we buy ours from a local store.) My dog loves hers, and they take a long time to go through. They don't upset her stomach in the least and they don't get that weird smell like bones do sometimes. They're a little pricey, but for how long they last, they are totally worth it.
Our newly adopted bunnies are very tame about their water dish, it's got an amazing clamp that's secured to the xpen. They can't move it about, and it's at a height that food/hay generally can't fit in. We gave them their choice between that and the bottle, they won't touch the bottle. :)

You need to get him one of these water bottles, they're great for traveling with dogs. https://www.amazon.com/Highwave-SYNCHKG071299-AutoDogMug-Blue/dp/B00YNK9VPI
We got ours at a real store (Bed Bath and Beyond, maybe?) but this Amazon one appears to be the same. It comes in super handy!
Yea they enjoy seeing the water move, my dog used to do it and make a mess
I got this and splashing stopped
no splash
I just started using this one with my new kitten, and I love it so much! Worth every penny. My previous cat (RIP Samwise) was pretty annoying about food, and hated his life-long diet until the week he passed. I was determined not to be associated with food this time around. It’s lovely!

I've got little Foggy in a dog crate settup on my porch. First two days was easy since she felt so poopy but now she's active and feeling better and she's spitting up the pills. We got some tiny tomatoes and grapes and hiding them in it. It's best to let her eat the pills vs forcing them down her throat.
Also clean clean clean, it's super important to keep their environment clean. I have 6 large bath towels on rotation and a good layer of news paper underneath. I change the towels 3 times a day to make sure she doesn't sit/stand in wet/poop.
Also these are literally the best. She can't tip them over for food and water: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0012GTZVQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Good luck!
I recommend them. When we got our corgi he wolfed down food so fast we were scared he would get sick. Corgis tend to be pretty food focused. We use this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01F3AZ5PG/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_DfsKxbF90AV4C
I also have this because I have cloth seats in my Jeep and labs shed like crazy. It's great for hiking and river adventures and keeps him from tumbling around. It's held up really well so far.
My lab is the same age and he loves to walk around and stick his head out the window. He rarely lays down but he will once he gets tired enough. Trust me, your boy should be the same way lol. If possible maybe exercise him really good the day before/morning of? That way he's already burned off some energy and isn't so wound up. Of course bring plenty of water. Amazon also has a dog water bottle that is absolutely fantastic and compact.
Gulpy
Second vote for the Tug a jug, Buster Maze also the Mushroom are also good the Bobs A lot Also works great as it has variable settings for difficulty. Puzzles like this are great but they tend to be useless once the dog figures it out.
Used to have that same model and one of our cats always found a way to get food out of it with her paw or by just knocking the whole thing over.
Ending up getting a different model and has been working great:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075CXMJB5/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Looks like it went up slightly in price, I pad $79 for it.
My wife does a great job of screening reviews and ascertaining their credibility before determining whether to go with an item. She decided to go with a Petnet SmartFeeder.
Not here for the gold, just with suggestions.
This requires some rigging: https://www.amazon.com/Living-World-Lock-Crock-20-Ounce/dp/B005F3FCSM, but literally one of those types of kennel water bowls - if you can find something to screw it in to, it locks in to place. Put one of those plastic placemats underneath (you can find them at most pet stores) - they'll catch the mess, and your cat can't drag a screwed in water bowl around.
Going off the kennel idea, https://www.amazon.com/COCOPET-Dripless-Fountains-Dispenser-Automatically/dp/B01KDUK8US/ref=sr_1_4?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1511144068&sr=1-4&keywords=kennel+water+bottle&dpID=4105l1%252Bk1YL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch you can easily train a cat to use one of these licking water bottles.
Also, https://www.amazon.com/Sit-N-Stay-Small-Magnetic-Non-Slip-Tray/dp/B01FE6ZILU magnetic bowls. There's tons of different types, and might be difficult to move. You can also find these in a lot of pet stores, make sure to take them out and see how they do, or order off Amazon and return it if it's not a powerful enough magnet.
Also, seconding the dripping faucet, or springing off that idea - a bowl in a guest bathroom sink, or a second bathtub. Then, if there's a mess, there's a convenient drain for it.
Good luck!
We tried so many and found none that he went crazy for. So we went back to cheap nature's domain from Costco. He ate it about as well as he ate anything.
I guess poodles are so smart that if things aren't a challenge, it's not worth it to him. It was really frustrating for a long, long time. It still is, but we found a system that worked. Kong stuffed with kibble and a tiny bit of Kong stuffin spray peanut butter for breakfast. Dinner in a slow feeder or that treat ball linked earlier, or as "treats" for training. My vet tells me he is the absolute perfect body type, and he can hike 20km with a pack no problem. So I guess he's just a princess.
My wheaten isn't a chow hound either. But I mean, he didn't cause himself to throw up multiple times a day for months because he refused to eat. So that was a win.
I'm wondering if maybe a no-spill water bowl, like this, would help?
We have a beagle that was inhaling her food so we bought this and have not had the problem since. After a few weeks of using it she got used to eating slowly and realized we were not ever going to take her food away and now she eats slower even if we use the normal bowl. It also helps if we feed her alone in the kitchen and make sure that our other dog can't access that area for a bit.
Maybe try a "non-spill" water bowl, like a road refresher?
Here are the agility and the other style I meant was a maze another maze.
Of course the agility one is harder so it depend on your dog capacity at solving puzzles. My sisters dog would die of starvation :)
my black lab pup does this. it's pretty adorable, but it makes a huge mess and tile is super slippery when wet. i haven't done this myself yet, but a friend recommend i try a raised feeding tray, something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Suncast-Elevated-Feeding-Tray-Large/dp/B0015QC4SO
Most Labs do tend to eat with gusto. Make sure he's getting enough food. They do make some different food bowls to supposedly slow dogs down.
Interactive slow pet feeder
Skidstop slow feeder bowl
Gobble stopper bowl addition
Buster dog maze
I personally have had success with the treat type balls.
Kong wobbler
Kibble Nibbler
Thanks for the replies. These are all the things we bought so far:
Bed
Feeder
Leash
Toy
I think I'm going to buy a harness and cage in person because I want to make sure its the right fit.
Oh and here's a picture of the little guy :)
I got it on Amazon for $5. It's an add-on item, but they sell larger ones that come with Prime shipping for about $10. It's great! No more spills in the crate!
The Petnet feeder is apparently going to have alexa integration at some point but it isn't working yet. I have one at the moment for my dog. I like it, although I wish it could do more. You can schedule it to feed your pet so maybe that will work in the interim while we wait for them to complete their Alexa app.
I'm not sure where you love but I've bought some at Petco and assorted pet stores. Also if you live in a place people hunt you can sometimes get the ones they don't want. Is a link to a decent place to order some. I also really like the black extreme kong toy. I melt peanut butter and pour it in the kong then freeze it so it becomes hard and give it to my dog. We've also had good luck with Nyla bones, the have regular and extreme chewing versions. Any other questions let me know:)
Here's a couple on amazon:

Congrats! Purple Penguin
Under $15 my puppy's bowls are currently on the floor and I can tell he doesn't like extending his neck to drink and eat food.
Cheap item for $1.13
So like one of those bowl lift things for large breed dogs that have back and neck issues?
Like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0015QC4SO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_hBlnybRM3PX4Q
for the water bowl get something like this:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001GULX04/
lifesaver. i took out the floating part + put a stainless steel bowl inside just to make it easier to clean.
also just wait til you get into shiba adolescence. goodluck. !
When it's really hot in summer, I'll dump a bottle of water on my dog early in the run. She's dry by the time we get home, and it keeps her cool. She's got really thick black fur, this works well in the hot sun.
Also, she's picky about what she drinks out of. We tried that Gulpy water bottle and she refused to touch it. Then I got the Ollydog Bottle and now she'll drink out of that little reservoir (I'll put links so you can see both bottles at the end of this.). Something about it being on the ground and not me holding it? I give up. On runs, though, she DOES need to slow down significantly to be willing to drink and it can take her a few minutes to get around to drinking. If you're not going much more than three miles at a stretch, it's probably not even necessary for him to drink during your breaks. More than five miles or so, it might be more critical to take a long enough break to get in some water.
The Gulpy:

Consider getting something like this. You can pick your size. They are relatively cheap. Hard to tip over and I think they are an attractive solution.
Ethical 5-Inch Stoneware Crock Dog Dish
https://www.amazon.com/Ethical-5-Inch-Stoneware-Crock-Dish/dp/B00025YU3Q
We bring our dog's dog bed camping with us. I think it is good for her to have something familiar and a place for her to lay that feels like her's. Also, we always bring a tie out stake and cable to hook to her harness when we are hanging out at our campsite.
Bring the little guy water and something he feels comfortable drinking out (our's loves her Gulpy)of and maybe a dog carrier/sling for if he gets tired and you have to wear/carry him.
We have a Conure that's notorious for this. He'd dump not only his food, but also his water several times a day.
We solved that problem with these. They come in various sizes; we used a much smaller version for our Pineapple Cheek.
I had to get something similar for my dogs. Otherwise they scarf down their food in under 10 seconds.

Edit: added a link
Clean water should be accessible 24 hours a day to your dog, and once she realises the water bowl is always there, and always has water, she will learn to drink at a calmer pace, failing this, you can get bowls to help your dog drink slower. [Like this one.] (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dogit-Go-Slow-Anti-Gulp-Medium-Black/dp/B0032GG5Z8)
As for your post, i'd personnally recommend having family meet all three of you in an outdoor setting, then having said family walk in your front door IN FRONT of your dog. To a dog this is pack hierarchy. I'm not an expert, but this is how i solved my gsd's behavorial issues, which were pretty much as you described in your post.
I have never seen someone use a metal ball type water bottle for a dog, I don't see how they could effectively drink from that.
I have a bottle of this type (not this brand, I just got this link to show you, not sure if these are any good) and I am quite happy with it! You squeeze it and it fills the tray and your pup can lap it up just like he would from a bowl.
For sure. We have to keep our walks super short in the summer, and we have one of these guys, which I totally recommend to everyone here: http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B008X8P420
Edit: Also, I didn't add the pictures where there is a visible water spot from us dumping water on him :)
Please treat your dog to one of these.
I could really do with this:

For my puppy. He eats his food too fast and always ends up being bloated and sometimes getting sick because he just gulps it all down. We have tried lots of different things with him to try and slow him down but nothing seems to be working. I think he was underfed when he was born and that is why he just shoves everything down his throat. I would very much appreciate the bowl!
I took a sip of something poison, but I'll hold on tight
Merci <3
Aww Rotti. I miss my rotti. Pure or mix? Mine was supposedly pure rotti, but he looked more like a rotti+lab mix. We adopted him when his owners decided they couldn't have two dogs and a baby.
Anyway, I need to add more dog items to my list, but here is one that would certainly come in handy for when we move. Perdy's gotta go on a 1,000+ mile trip in a uhaul and she'll need a convenient way to stay hydrated. Plus it'd be nice for walks since we probably won't have a yard for a while.

In this case, it is really hard to give advice, I would want to watch all of the interactions and level of guarding, aggression and injuries. I would be concerned about getting you hurt. Generally, I like advising the book you have been working with, beyond that, I would suggest working with an IAABC or CPDT-KA trainer/ consultant.
I do have a couple exercises that you might consider in the mean time, if it is safe, it's yer choice - susan garrett, normally I use kevlar gloves to protect my hand with dogs who will make me bleed. If you can be safe, I would consider switching to hand feeding.
Otherwise, it is a management issue until you can bring a consultant into your home. I would only feed in a crate with the door closed with a bowl attached to the door. I like the Snap Y Fit bowls for this propose. Normally, I have my dogs go into the crate and offer a sit with their nose inside the invisible door boundary before I drop their food into the bowl.
Whatever you do, keep your self safe and try to prevent instances where the dog practices the behavior, this becomes a self reinforcing behavior.
My wife found this bottle to use with our dog. It took a little while for him to understand what was going on with the bottle, but since he figured it out we rarely leave home without it.

I have been using this feeder for awhile and my cats have never gotten into it, it's great. Try it out.

Yeah I hope the dog's owner eventually was able to get a proper bowl for him! We found one of these slows her down enough to actually chew her food but doesn't frustrate her the way a maze bowl does (way too slow). I'm considering smaller maze-style dishes for my ferrets and cat though, although my cat started slowing down with her dry food when I finally put up a damn baby gate to block my mom's fat, bitchy cat from entering her territory.
There are many products designed to slow down dogs eating so I googled for dogs drinking and it turns out many dogs have the same issue as yours and there are products to slow them down! There are several different styles: Slow-Down Pet Water Bowl, Dogit Slow Anti Gulping Bowl, I feel like something like this would work too.
EDIT: Just realized I was on /r/Dogtraining and not r/dogs and you were asking for reshaping behaviors not other solutions. Sorry I need sleep! I'll leave this up in case anyone is searching for the same thing.
Ive used this with good results.

Seconding the Kong idea. This is my list, based on the Digital Dog Training Book linked to in the sidebar:

Later Needs/Growing Puppy/Dog Needs
I also have an extensive Etsy list with collars, leashes, running leashes, and tags.
Growing up I had two beagles, and we used a bowl like this one here. Also, we would water down half the kibble so it was kinda soft/mushy and then mix in the hard half, and that seemed to help too.
We have a Snap'y fit which is way more secure than the hoop. The lip of the bowl literally snaps into the semi-circle and it is actually a huge pain to get out, haha. You have to tug directly out super hard, pushing down/up doesn't do much.
Needs this, seriously!
