Definitely separate kennels, feeders, and waterers. I agree with the others

Question....
Does anyone have a dog that is persistent about leveling out the food in the bowl? Sarah has done this since she was a small pup. We can't figure out why. Any clues?

I've never seen that, my dog is a struggle to even get to eat. Sorry I can't help

No worries. We had one that went 8 days without eating. He didn't want what we were serving. I got him eating with some canned salmon. We fought for about 6 years with getting him to eat consistently. We finally found freeze dried duck was the only thing reliable.

We had to put him down last year at the ripe old age of 17.5. R.I.P Poppy Joe

Do you mean moving it around with their nose? That's generally them trying to bury it.

Yes. She won't eat unless the food is even. It's something she does more when she gets stressed.

Dogs do that when they don't wish to eat, but wish to "save" the food for later. It's fake burying of the food.

My boxer will knock the bowl over, or shove it into a corner, and sometimes eat, and sometimes walk away, and other times sits down to defend it until she gets bored.

This sounds like her to a point. It's something she has always done

Thank you for your input. It is very much appreciated.

update:

We have a vet visit scheduled. We found information about allergies possibly causing aggressive behaviors. She is prone to allergy issues. We are going to consult her vet to ser what she says.

Thank you all for your input and love. We feel blessed to be a part of the flock.

Hopefully you can get it figured out! Definitely rule out medical issues including allergies and pain etc. first.
