At least twice a day. If you're going to feed no more than twice a day, it's best to schedule feeding when you'll be around to provide access to potty chances for, oh, an hour or so at least after the meal. If you're going to feed more than twice a day, the meals will be smaller, and I have good results giving one at bedtime. But I would not give a dog half his daily ration and then confine him right away with no potty access.

As far as the times, I like to feed at times that will keep my dogs from getting too hungry, but they really are very flexible about the feeding schedule as long as you're consistent with whatever you do.
