The feeder is putting kibble out the back of the floor base.
This is one of the features or our floor base called "Chase Feed" which allows you to dispense treats onto the floor. Simple rotate the feeder to disconnect it from the floor base and turn it around so the logo is facing the bowl.
Additional information on setup and use of the Pet Tutor® can be found in the section titled How The Pet Tutor® Works in the manual [manual link].
