I would consider putting the dominant dog on a anti-anxiety medicine so he doesn't fight with Bruno. This may or may not help. You can try a OTC product like a calming chew like composure but he may need a prescription medicine like fluoxetine or trazadone. Bruno may always scarf his food down since he feels like he is in competition plus this just may be his personality. You can buy a feeder bowl which slows him down, separate them when they eat, or simply spread the food across the floor so he has to "vacuum" it up. Finally, the shaking that Bruno is exhibiting sounds like it may be anxiety. You can try the composure calming chews on him as well or even a calming collar like Adaptil. He may also need to be seen by your vet and get started on an anti-anxiety medicine. I hope this helps!
