First one we've had that doesn't eat just because food is present.
I still put a measured amount of his food in 2x a day, but there are times when the food sits there for 4 to 6 hours. He only eats when he's actually hungry.
None of the other dogs (all labs) were like that. Food in the bowl, blink, food was gone.
Vincent is the exception, by a lot.
