Dog feeding schedule

Ever since we brought our dog home 3 years ago she has always had access to her food bowl. Now I have a one year old crawling around who will eat and apparently likes dog food so I need to get the dog to eat at certain times so there is not food lying around. What's the best way to go about it?

Just try feeding her at the same time every day and staying near her say in the kitchen while she eats. Honestly it may be a little rough on the dog for a day or two but she will pick up on it quick! You can always throw a couple of treats or hand feed her a little while making the transition.
