If it really is the dog’s hunger, there is no need to look for other reasons.

How to train a dog to use a bowl

Buy different bowls for your dogs. Pets will get used to the fact that everyone has their own bowl and will even learn to distinguish their own.

Place bowls in specific places. Separate areas for each pet to avoid conflicts between animals.

Reward your pet when he eats normally from a bowl.

Don't punish your pet and be patient. The dog needs time to get used to it.
