Train your dog to eat more slowly
A small, brown and white dog is eating food from their bowl. There is a tennis ball in the bowl of food encouraging the pooch to eat more slowly.

Train your dog to eat more slowly

Does your dog get so excited at meal time that they eat a bit too fast? Watch this Hound Hack trick to train them to eat more slowly.

  • To help your dog slow down and enjoy every last bite, place a ball in the middle of their food bowl.
  • The ball becomes a fun obstacle and your dog will have to keep moving it around to eat their meal.
  • But beware - extra clever dogs who may be able to push the ball out of the bowl.
