Feed twice a day with quality dry food. Reduce amount until the dog starts loosing weight, once weight is achieved, up the amount to where it remains steady.
I never understood having an overweight dog. It sure is easier to keep the dog from eating than one's self ...

That's my formula exactly, excepting for the last part. My old girl's metabolism was so low (although she got tons of activity), that at 5-6 years (as her metabolism changed), I had to begin feeding her way less than any recommended "guidelines" for her size. Her last eight years, not an ounce more than 2 cups per day. Canned food would have simply "messed her up"...I found out the the hard way from a ham bone one T-giving
