Laura dont you crate them to eat?  where do they eat?   I have always fed my 
dogs in their crates since puppies.   and the adults i have bought were always 
crated at eating time too.    They are all used to relaxing after eating for 
a few hours.    my friends who kennel their dogs outside, are fed in a smaller 
area of their kennel and stay there after food.    i know some who let theirs 
stay in their kennel run after they eat and run around after for exercise but 
not playing with other dogs
