What time is dinner time?

What time is dinner time for your sheepies? Do you give them any treats after dinner time?
Respond to this topic here on forum.oes.org  
breakfast is usually around 9am, dinner is anywhere from 5-7pm. marley typically gets table scraps but rudie gets nothing. unless he looks particularly hungry, then i give him some green beans as a treat.
4, no treats are ever given except 1 after they get groomed. Oh and when someone eats an apple, they get ONE slice.
My dogs (yep dogs have 5 only 2 OES) eat breakfast between 7 and 8 am and then dinner between 4:30 and 5:30 I do give muy dogs treats at night I use small ones because I do sits downs stay etc at different times of the day. I still have bad dogs!!! They get a treat if they come right in at 10 or 10:30 which is usually the last potty of the evening I hate to have to call and call when they are exploring the yard
At what time do you take away their water bowl?
Once their bladder was mature, we found no need to take it away. We go upstairs at 8 p.m., so essentially that's when it's taken away since one gets locked in a crate and the other goes upstairs with us.
Breakfast is at 5 or 5:30. Dinner is 2 or after......I'd love to make it closer to 5 but they have other ideas.

Before bed all get a cookie or more if they are on late night meds e.g. Glacier and her thyroid and Proin in a teaspoon of peanut butter.
Breakfast is after the morning walk, usually between 8-9. Dinner is after we have eaten ours, Greg doesn't get home until 7 so it's about half 7 or 8 for Rufus. He gets treats when we are training him doing sit, stay, down etc. But they are only tiny. He has a few cookies at bedtime and his water is out all night, he drinks more overnight than during the day.
I leave water out all the time even have a bowl upstairs in the bathroom But when I have puppies the water comes up at 7 but not for adults
Breakfast is at 6:45AM & includes 1 medium sized biscuit. Dinner is at 5:30PM & again includes 1 biscuit. They get 1 biscuit before going to bed at 10PM. No other treats except for when training & those are totally different from their biscuits. As for water.....I fill a 2 quart stainless steel bowl with 2" of water placed in each of their kennels. They get refilled as needed. My dogs have learned to drink more when we are home & less when we are gone. They all consume different amounts.
My 4 girls (3 dogs 1 cat) eat breakfast at 6:00 am. They have a snack midday and then dinner between 4:00-5:00. I try to feed them before I sit down to dinner. My hubby snacks at night and usually shres some with them. I leave water out at all times.
Tonks and Luna get breakfast when they (and we) roll out of bed. Usually between 11:30am and noon. :oops: Dinner is around 8pm. Treats are usually dispensed by the BF and given pretty freely. I only buy all organic, people grade, blah blah blah, so I don't usually worry about it. Plus my girls get a lot of exercise and aren't anything even resembling overweight. Treats for the girls are either dried sweet potato pieces, a "light" biscuit or something from the butcher's shop, like a turkey neck.
:D Willoughby has breakfast after our walk or his trip to the back garden. 8) I feed the cats first in order of seniority: Edwina eats in the bathroom with the door closed and Percy eats in the kitchen next to the fridge. Willoughby has his dishes beside the door to the garage. The space is small but it works. Everyone watches everyone else, just in case! :roll: then I ususally have breakfast standing at the counter during the week after which I get dressed and settle the troops for the day. :lol:

Willoughby goes down to the family room and has three treats: one directly to him and the others scattered for him to find. I started doing that with Bentley so he would be more concerned with finding the treat than with the fact that I was leaving!

Dinner is at six: everyone knows this and I'm reminded if I'm late! :oops:


There are also treats (all organic) during and after walks for good behaviour. This dosen't last very long but we like our rituals! A bed time treat is also a must. :) The cats have their own goodies at bedtime.
Breaky at 7 followed by a dog bickey and dinner at 4-5 in the afternoon.

Treats after we have had our dinner or when training. :wink:
panda gets breakfast at 7:30 am, followed by a cookie....then she gets fed dinner at 5 pm, followed by a cookie...then another cookie after our walk....
Barney's breakfast is around 7:30, maybe (hopefully!) later on weekends. No treats. Dinner's around 6 (anytime from 5-7, though, depending on the day of the week) and no treats. Although he DOES help me clean up the mess below the baby's highchair.
Summer and Tilly have brekkie about 7. Mid day they have some dog biscuits and then for supper at about 5.30 they have the same as breakfast including any veg or pasta that is left over. I do feed mine snacks of carrots, apples and bits of cheese etc. Yorkies need lots of small meals and I cant feed one without the other. Please dont tell your sheepies I havent got room for all of them :lol:
Breakfast for all dogs at 8-9am. Earlier if we have shows or events to leave for.
Supper is anywhere from 5-9pm, as I'm working around my work schedule and evening classes.
Snacks are pretty often here, Todd is notorious for sharing anything and everything with them. They also get a treat when going to bed at night.Training treats are separate.

Water - out all the time, but some are crated, so they don't drink then. The crated ones are the ones who would likely pee too - so it works out.
Breakfast right after the first outside, if you forget or are late they throw the food bowls at you :D

Dinner is between 4:30-5:00 and if you are late they throw the food bowls at you.
Breakfast around six (whining begins at 4:30)

Dinner around six (but sometimes an hour or so earlier)

Before bed a small snack (Hudson has a stomach acid thingie, and the snack before bed reduces the four am vomit the next morning. It's a small handful of kibble.)

Cookies are pretty frequent. I buy teeny weenie ones. That way I can give five or six or more and it's still not the same as one medium milkbone.

No people food, but some raw veggies and apples when they are handy.

The one decadence? I think all dogs should learn to have whipped cream sprayed in their mouths. This one is non negotiable. They don't get much, and it's rarely more than once a month or two, but it is extremely important that they embrace the practice.

And it's not hard to convince them of this.
