What time do you feed your puppy/dog?

Because Willa is 6 months old and not 3 months old like we thought, the vet said to go down to 2 feedings a day. I'm just wondering what time to feed her. She teases all day long for food. I fed her first thing this morning at about 7:00am do I not feed her again until dinner time?

Thanks!

A point of reference...Elsa eats at 6:AM, and again at 6:PM. She also poos at 5:30 AM, and 5:30 PM, lol.

I feed breakfast between 7am and 8:30am (depending on if I work early) and dinner between 5pm and 7:30pm (if I work late), and go for a walk about 15 minutes to 45 minutes after he eats.

Thank you for the info. This is really helpful to me as well.
Do you give a little snacks in between? If so, what do you give?

I give tiny bits - not much more than pencil eraser sized - of a treat (I know they're terrible, but Beavis likes Snausages and Beggin' Wraps, sometimes tiny pieces of hot dog, too) when he comes in from pottying, or when teaching or practicing commands. Since I taught him "go to bed," every time he comes in the house, he rushes straight to his bed, jumps on it, lays down and waits for a treat.

Thanks! Sounds like I'm doing okay. She eats when we get up at about 7:00am and then I feed her dinner about the same time we eat around 6:30pm.

I do give her little, low-fat reward treats throughout the day for house training and other basic commands we're working on.
