I've never free fed my dogs and do not believe in it. It's a bad habit to continue as the dogs will always expect there to be food in their bowl and it's good to pick up the bowls if they're on a set feeding time to discourage them for that as well. It's good to start with feeding times when at a very young age, even if they eat three times a day. And what's already been said; your dog can easily become overweight and morbidly obese if you do not watch their food intake.
