New puppy keeps eating my older dog’s food, any advice?

Hey everyone, I'm new here and recently adopted an 8 month old pug mix. He's honestly a really sweet boy, listens well, loves to play, and sleeps through the night. I also have a 4 year old female pug who's much calmer and more mellow. The issue I'm having is with feeding time. They both have their own bowls, but my puppy keeps trying to eat out of my older pug's bowl. I correct him and move him away every time, but if I leave them unattended for even a little bit, he'll eat all of her food and won't let her get to it. I'm still learning and was wondering if anyone has advice on how to stop this behavior or make feeding time easier. Thanks!

Food change caused upset tumm

I adopted an 8 month old pug mix 3 days ago and I'm still learning, so please be nice The day brought him home, I switched him straight to Blue Buffalo kibble. His foster had only been feeding him Freshpet, and I honestly didn't realize you're supposed to slowly transition dogs onto new food. That's completely my tault, I should've researched more beforehand. Since then, he's had watery stool. He's still acting pretty normal otherwise, but I feel awful and just want to help him feel better. I've read that plain pumpkin or sweet potato can sometimes help settle their stomach. Has anyone dealt with this after switching foods too fast? Any advice on what helped your puppy recover would be really appreciated. I'm trying my best to learn and do right by him.
