Feeding Recommendations
Feed during quiet hours & in quiet places. Create space between multiple dogs feeding. Use visual barriers. Stay till the end to prevent fights and clean up. Feed “problematic dogs”/ insecure dogs separately.

Feed away from busy areas. Do not feed in front of apartment complexes or shops. The dogs may end up waiting there for you, which may make people hurt the dogs.
Feed during quiet hours and in a quiet place. This will reduce the possibility of triggering their startle response.
When serving food for multiple, put out several small portions, each at least 3 to 4 feet away from each other. Some dogs may fight around food, which may result in people getting nervous around them and wanting you to stop feeding. Dogs are very good at sharing if there is a bit of space between them or a visual barrier between them.
When feeding, some dogs may be more scared and may need your help. You can feed them away from the rest, and stand protecting them. Stand with your back to the scared dog, hands a little away from your body, palms facing the dog. This position communicates to the dog that you are protecting them and they will gain confidence to eat.
Stay till they finish eating, so that they do not end up fighting in your absence. Fighting dogs attract negative attention from people, who may hurt the dogs. It is a lot easier to prevent fights, rather than to break them up.
