When feeding puppies, my keeper from a litter, say, (not feeding an entire 
litter) here's what I do: Pups certainly have a problem with bowl sliding all 
over the place, them chasing it around the kitchen. I let this happen a few 
times.  Then I will kneel down or sit down, whatever I have time for, and just 
put one hand on the side of the bowl to prevent it from sliding away.  You can 
even make a V shape with your feet and trap the bowel in there. It doesn't take 
the pups long to know you're helping them; thus, it's a great way to build 
their trust 'real' fast, 'real' early. I believe that then flows into trusting 
me on recall, nail clipping, ears, all that. Before long, they figure out how 
to keep that bowl still, so I like to grab that opportunity. Be sure to let the 
bowl slide around every few feedings so they don't forget the goddesses that we 
are :)
