As I said in another thread my dogs eat when it is convenient for me to feed them.
It could be after, before or with me.

More dominance BS. I had this debate with a guy the other day. Also about walking through doors first etc. I said pushing through doors is more of a manners issue than dominance, and if I'm walking all 4 of mine I let them go first otherwise the leads get tangled.
My dogs walk through doors before me, sometimes eat before me, sit on the furniture, lie on my bed and have not once challenged me or growled etc.
As for walking through doors first, if they are both on the lead I walk through a door or gate first, but if they are loose then I would prefer them to go first to avoid being goosed by Ben or in the case of going down the stairs being tripped up. I much prefer my dogs in front of me so I can see what they are up to.

If you don't eat first, before you know what's what, you'll be eating dry kibble and cooking roast lamb for the dog
Next thing you know, they'll be on the sofa and you'll be on the floor
They've almost achieved domination - next step is to take control of the bedroom
Them pesky dogs - you can't trust em - I swear they've got a grand plan to take over the world !
Beautiful dogs - where do you sleep??

OH works away all week so on Fridays, he may not get back until 7 or 8pm depending on the traffic, then we have a few beers and finally eat between 9 - 10pm, by which time they would have chewed the legs off the dining table.
