that's totally normal dog behavior. both my dogs do it. they are on raw, so it can be messy. I saw a tip once, a lady taught her dog eat within a rubber cover (so, she still took it out the plate, but did not drag it elsewhere). we have similar routine (although, I limit them physically instead of training)

My older one is like that. But the younger... Ahhh.. he would take it to his place if I let him. And he is a big boy with a big raw chicken piece in his plate 😅
