@dogtrouble My male and female eat side by side every day, whenever we've had opposite sex dogs, we've never had a problem either. A rescue we're fostering however will never eat with another male and I think that's what localdog is suggesting. If I put the two males together with food, thy will fight. Both respect my leadership, both walk beside me, both follow strict instructions, but I can not feed them together... ever... and some less experienced dog owners may end up in trouble...

My 5lb male chihuahua will steal kibbles out of my 60 pound female pit's bowl, while she's still eating from it. Wasn't always like this though, the chihuahua probably still has a dent on his head from his first food thieving incident, which was in the first few days of his arrival(at 14 weeks old).
This guy gives good tips for breaking any dog out of this behavior. Lots of patience, time, supervision and minor corrections and you should be able to accomplish this too. Never give up.

Great video, but you really should put a disclaimer on your vid for inexperienced dog owners (a majority) who will watch this and duplicate what they're seeing. They'll put their dogs bowls together and have two dogs eating face-to-face and one will kill the other. You can still see guarding in this video as the pitty hovers over her bowl and eats from the outside, while the other dog leans in and eats from the side of the bowl furthest from the pit.

lol there is no guarding going on anywhere. Pay attention to the TAILS. These dogs still eat side by side every single day with ZERO incidents... let me repeat that... ZERO.

Very true indeed. I have to emphasize to folks whom I help that long term change is only a result of consistent leadership. In a lot of these behavior problems months or years of bead conditioning can take time and patience to help resolve. It doesn't happen over night. Believe me, this big girl had a separate kennel for a while. Early part of 2007 she was living in my pack of 4 dogs and eating with the whole pack daily as a healthy dog should.
