 The dog food is in the tap room behind the chicken coop.
+=== Feeding time rules ===
+The dogs (like the Chickens & Ducks) only get their food for a 1/2 hour and then the food is taken away. This attempts to alleviate conflict between the dogs and reduce pest presence in the yard.
+  * The dogs' food containers should both be put in the blue dog food barrels in the outside tap room (where hoses come from in the yard).
+  * The Chicken/Ducks' food container should go in the automated feeder box in the wood shelter. It is an unpainted sheet metal box with a lid and foot pedal

+Occasionally dogs fight (just like people), if you hear the dogs being aggressive and Franz and Aimee aren't around the safest way to break up the fight is to stay out of it.
+If they start the aggressive behaviour around you move away from them.
 Never get in between the dogs whilst they are fighting, it is dangerous and you will get bitten.
